    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.

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/
