Yeah that's fine 🙂
You have two Electronic Arts folders. One correctly in your Documents folder and one within a folder called Documents in your Documents folder. The one in the second Documents folder will not be read by the game so all saves, mods etc. need to be in the correct one - Documents > Electronic Arts > The Sims 4.
I have looked through my documents folder and I cant seem to find it, I am wondering if the documents file in my favourites is the wrong one as I did accidentally remove it from that bar into I think the iCloud Drive and have to put it back the other day, maybe it was the wrong one I'm not sure?

Okay, sorry if this sounds dumb, clearly I am lacking in any technological knowledge but what exactly should I do now?

Make sure that the saves and mods you want to load in your game are in users > your user account > Documents > Electronic Arts > The Sims 4 and not in the other Documents folder you created.
The User Documents folder is in your Home folder. This Apple page may help https://support.apple.com/en-gb/guide/mac-help/mchlp1143/mac - 4 years ago
Thank you so much 🙂 just found the correct documents folder. However my mods file is empty in it and there is no saves file. If I move those from the incorrect one I have been using will it cause issues or not work?

And afterwards should I delete the incorrect one or rename and move it?

All was going well, transferred saves over successfully and thought I had transferred the mods over too but they aren't there. I thought maybe I just put them in the incorrect place but searching for them I cant find them at all.

Thank you so much, I have just run the game and all my saves and custom content are there. Thank you for your help and patience you are a lifesaver! 🙂

Great! Now you have it sorted, I’m going to split these posts out into a separate thread so as not to distract from the iCloud topic 🙂
