I deleted my mods folder how to get it back?

Hi, I play the sims 4 on a mac and I recently accidentally deleted my mods folder to free up space. I then emptied my trash bin. I've tried everything online and none of it works. My game doesn't newly generate a new mods folder when I open it. What should I do?

Thanks, 

Reyna

    Yes, I do I have the enabled mods checked and scripted mods checked.

    Yes I did but I don’t think the game recognizes it because it still won’t work for my mods.

    Is there a resource.cgf file in the Mods folder you created? Could you please click on the Mods folder you created once, to highlight it, then go to File > Get Into in the menu bar and copythe file path that shows under General > Where and paste it here.

    Yes there is a resource.cfg but after I select the folder, how do I go to file and do everything else? When I highlight the mods folder, then hit control, file doesn't show up.

    Thanks. The problem is the file path. The Sims 4 folder needs to be directly in Users > [your user account] > Documents > Electronic Arts > The Sims 4. Yours is in a previous iCloud Drive folder which is now archived. Move the Sims 4 folder (or just Mods folder, whichever you prefer) to the correct location and the game will load the data.
