Moved Sims 4 application and now missing all my EP and Stuff files, etc.

I moved my sims 4 application to the application folder and now It doesn't show any of my expansion packs or cc. Can you help me get all that back? I see that the mods file and tray files are still out there in my documents folder under electronic arts. when I open origin It just says I have there expansion packs that need to be downloaded like I have never played them before.

Your Packs are in a separate folder called Sims 4 Packs. This folder must be in the same install location as the application. If you moved the app, you must move the Sims 4 Packs folder too:

@atlgajoe Go into Origin's application settings, and change the game data location, I think?

Thanks I re-downloaded all the packs last night and It created a new the sims 4 packs folder in my applications folder. when I log in though It gives me messages that some build mode Items and stuff have been replaced or removed because I don't own them under this account. I checked my library and It looks like my custom content households and lots are still there. just not sure about how to fix the error. any ideas?

Custom content should be in the Documents > Electronic Arts > The Sims 4 > Mods folder. If you are loading up your game without your CC in the Mods folder it will not load the items and substitute others.
