Re: Directing Sims 4 to previous game saves on Mac

@twistytoes

The Sims 4 folder has to be in the Documents > Electronic Arts folder. There must be a Documents folder somewhere in her user account. By default it should show in the Dock on the right side. Once you've found it you can then copy over your Sims 4 folder for her.

    Thank you, and you're correct, that's exactly where it has to be, as when I put it that location on my (admin) account the game works perfectly. The trouble is I'm having difficulty locating a Documents folder in any of the standard accounts. I'll keep looking - thank you🙂

    Let's check. Open Terminal and c/p the following command and then hit Enter/Return:

    find / -type d -name "*Documents*" 2>/dev/null

    It will come up with a load of results of folders called Documents in your user account but the last few results should be the Documents folders in the other user accounts. This will verify whether she actually has one.
