I can't install any custom content PLEASE
I have been struggling with this for about a year now. At some point, my Documents folder somehow made it into the cloud. I redownloaded it from the cloud along with everything in it, but it's been w...

This folder is located at Documents > Electronic Arts. Even after uninstalling and deleting files, and reinstalling, the folders are still not there after reopening the game.
The game installation is irrelevant and has no effect on the Electronic Arts > The Sims 4 folder, uninstalling and reinstalling is not going to fix your problem.
Please do a Terminal search for the Mods folder. Open Terminal (Applications > Utilities) and copy and paste the following command then hit enter/return:
find ~ -type d -name "*Mods*" 2>/dev/nullIt will take a while. Once the command prompt reappears it has finished the search. Copy and paste the results here please.
The results i got:

paige@Paiges-MacBook-Air ~ % documents
I tried this, don't know if it's pointless:
paige@Paiges-MacBook-Air Documents % cd/Users/paige/Documents/Electronic Arts/The Sims 4/Mods
zsh: no such file or directory: cd/Users/paige/Documents/Electronic
paige@Paiges-MacBook-Air Documents %
It's like my original documents folder doesn't exist? I have no idea how I did that or if that's even the case
/Users/paige/Library/Mobile Documents/com~apple~CloudDocs/Mods
What's in that Mods folder?
/Users/paige/Documents/Electronic Arts/The Sims 4/Mods
This is where your Mods need to be and it does exist.
paige@Paiges-MacBook-Air Documents % cd/Users/paige/Documents/Electronic Arts/The Sims 4/Mods
What were you trying to do here? That isn't a recognised command which is why you received the error. Is your internal drive named cd and not Macintosh HD? There is also no instruction before the file path. Or were you trying to "change directory" into the Mods folder in Terminal? That command would be:
cd ~/Documents/Electronic\ Arts/The\ Sims\ 4/Modsor
cd ~/Documents/"Electronic Arts"/"The Sims 4"/ModsI was trying to change directory. I don't know much about Mac, obviously. I was once able to have mods in my game. I've played with mods for years and I definitely know where they are supposed to go, but I'm unable to access that folder. I've even played with mods on this specific Mac before. When this issue first occurred, I went to add more cc to my folder and couldn't find "Documents" on the side. I searched for it, and it was in the cloud, so I downloaded it again and moved it over. Since then, my whole Sims folder is busted. When I would open my game, my mods were no longer there, and I've tried many ways to get them back. The folder isn't currently in the cloud, so I don't know what the issue is from looking at it on my end. As well as me not knowing what I'm looking at on a Mac, period. But my current documents folder has an "electronic arts" folder thats pictured in my first post, and there is nothing more after that. If you know how I can directly open that mods folder please let me know. Thanks for trying to help
