Lots not saving properly
Mac, Sequoia 15.5
When attempting to save my game in The Sims 4, the game appears to save normally without errors, but no progress is retained. After closing and reopening the game, all progress is...

Ah ok. So it's a Mod thing? Very interesting. Could you send me a list of all your Mods? Open Terminal again and copy paste this command:
ls -lR ~/Documents/Electronic\ Arts/The\ Sims\ 4/Mods > ~/Desktop/Mods_Folder.txtThis will list the contents of your Mods folder and save it to a text file on your Desktop called "Mods_Folder". Please upload the text file to a different google drive link and PM it to me, don't put it here in this thread due to the possible nature of some of the Mods.
Edit - this command is recursive, it lists folders and their contents, in case you were thinking it wouldn't help :)
The command doesn't work.
Pasting it directly results in:
- ls: /Users/X/Documents/Electronic Arts/The Sims 4/Mods: No such file or directory
Changing the "The" to "Die" (accounting for my language), its output is:
- zsh: permission denied: /Users/X/Documents/Electronic Arts/Die Sims 4/Mods
I also tried creating a folder called "Mods_Folder", but it leads to the same result.
Oh yes sorry I forgot it was Die Sims 4… Add “sudo” to the beginning of the command. It will then prompt for your Mac login password. I’m presuming your user account on your Mac is an administrator account? So the command would be:
sudo ls -lR ~/Documents/Electronic\ Arts/The\ Sims\ 4/Mods > ~/Desktop/Mods_Folder.txtYes, it should be an administrator account. When pasting it like that, it prompted me for the password, then gave as output:
No such file or directory
When changing the "The" to "Die" again, it puts the command line in brackets and gives the open prompt line (?)
- X@MacBook-Air-of-X ~ %
And the "Mods_Folder" I created stays empty.
urgh yes Die instead of The (I just c/p from my previous command) 🤦♀️
The “Mods_Folder” is a text file. The command reads the names of all files and folders and their contents and creates that file with a list. Is your current Mods folder empty?
It worked now. (Quit Terminal, then reopened.) My Mods folder wasn't empty, though.
PMing you the Link now.
