Re: Multiple Documents folders, Saves and Mods not loading

Thanks for getting back to me. I did read the post on page one but my Mac storage seems fine, I checked it as instructed and there seems to be plenty of space? My mods folder hasn't moved from documents either.

It's not just the storage, it's iCloud settings too.

Let's properly look at your Mods folder location. Please open Terminal and copy and paste the following search command then hit Enter/Return:

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

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

For help with how to use Mods, extracting and installing, you should post in the Game & Mods forum - https://answers.ea.com/t5/Game-and-Mod-CC-Issues/bd-p/the-sims-4-game-issues-mods-en

here are the results, I just replaced my actual name with 'myname' which I hope won't affect anything.

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?

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?

Perfect!

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.

nevermind they seem to have reappeared phew! about to run the game and see!

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! 🙂
