EPs did not transfer over with game
Hi, I'm pretty new to transferring games from a PC to a Mac but I copied the entire Electronic Arts folder from my PC and moved it to my new Mac. I have all but two EP's, and I am able to play them in the game but when I tried to repair the game, only the base game repaired. And, the library is showing that I do not own any of the EP's.
I am in the middle of a decades challenge and my main concern was losing progress, and trying to transfer over just the save files did not work which is why I transferred the game files.
Can someone please help me? I have Origin if that helps.
Thanks!

Windows and Mac are different OSs, the game files are specific to the OS. The user data folder Sims 4 folder can be copied over but I would only copy over the saves/Mods/tray folders, let the game regenerate the rest.
The packs are installed in a separate folder in the same location as the game app. Currently Origin doesn't repair it although one day I hope they may bother fixing this. For now, if you want to repair a pack, you have to trash it and force a re-download - https://bluebellflora.com/2020/06/17/repairing-sims-4-packs-in-origin/
