I really don't have a mods folder

I have gone through finder and searched "mods" and nothing pops up anywhere. I have an Electronic Arts folder but inside is a folder called EA app which just contains random EA stuff. I have triple checked, repaired the game, removed then re-added the mod option in game, played some sims and still nothing. Also, the Electronic Arts folder I do have, was just floating loose previously and was not in the documents folder, so I had to move it there. Maybe that messed it up? I can try deleting and re-installing the game, but I'd like other options first.

    Ah okay scratch all I said, I had a look through all of them and found the right Documents folder! It just ended up being buried amongst like 30 there Documents folders. Thanks for all your help!

    /Users/(myfullname)/Documents/Electronic Arts/The Sims 4

    It came back with this, which is promising so thank you! Still can't find the right folder, have I moved my documents folder without realising? This is all that is in my Documents folder.

    I've found a lot of folders entitled documents, I've clicked on a few and they're all titled stuff Instagram etc. Maybe I should look through them all?

    Forget uninstalling and reinstalling the game, it's not necessary for your issue. Please run a Terminal search. Open Terminal (Applications > Utilities) and enter the following search command then hit enter/return:

    find ~ -type d -name "*The Sims 4*" 2>/dev/null

    The command prompt will reappear when the search has finished. Copy and paste the results here.
