Re: I cannot find the electronic arts folder to access mods in Sims 4

@miananny1

Thanks! The Electronic Arts folder is in your Documents folder, you can see the file path in Terminal in your pic 🙂

It will not show up in a Finder/Spotlight search if it is in the Documents folder because it is hidden from search results. No idea why, it’s a real pain. That’s why the Terminal search is definitive.

Ive had the same problem! I did the terminal search as you said and got the same results as this person, but how do I now find it in my documents folder if it doesn't work with spotlight search? Do I just have to scroll through manually?

Open Terminal and copy and paste the following search command then hit Enter/Return:

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

After a while it will return the results of the search. Please copy and paste the results in a post here.
