Everytime I try downloading Sims 4 CC, the additional pop up screen doesn't pop up. But it still says that it has been downloading even though it hasn't. Update: When I go on Chrome downloads and cl...

@Bluebellflora I'm kind of suspicious about the malware theory, but i'm still not sure. Is there anyway for me to check that. And also every time I download any CC/Mods it automatically places it in the downloads folder, then makes me drag and drop it in the designated folder. If that helps you help me solve this problem.

What are you suspicious about? A lot of CC creators hide their links behind Adfly and similar. While waiting the 5 seconds for the link to come through in Adfly it can automatically download erroneous files, often masking as Flash updates. These files cause no harm provided you don't double click and open them from your Downloads folder, just trash them. After the 5 seconds you can skip the ad and should be taken to the download page. That is the CC to download. It should automatically download to your Downloads folder, sometimes zipped so you need to unzip and place in your Mods folder.
Do you have a link to some of the CC that is causing this pop up?

- @Bluebellflora No CC is causing pop up, it's just that ever since I started downloading more content a week ago, they would automatically go to the downloads folder, usually something would pop up and show me the file, and allow me to choose right away where I would like to place the file. I don't know if it's supposed to be like that. I didn't want to cause you any trouble, but thank you for your help. by the way, I haven't opened any malicious ads. 🙂

You haven't caused me any trouble 🙂 Are you running any apps that claim to clean your Mac of unwanted files and speed it up? Or newly installed antivirus?- @Bluebellflora Sorry for the late reply, but I use Clean My Mac X, but this was happening before I downloaded it.
