Re: new sims 4 cc wont show up on mac

Attached to this post is the location path that I’m following and the path i need to take in order for sims to work. I was able to detect the path through screen captures like you said. However, the documents folder is nowhere to be found. I can’t make another one because when I try to it states that one already exists and I don’t know if that’s because of the document folder that already exists Under iCloud or if the local version is just misplaced somewhere.

Please open Terminal and copy and paste the following 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.

Hi,

sorry I don’t understand you. Open terminal where ? Please elaborate. 

thanks your your help also. 

Hi

so i did as you asked and this is what came up. 

it’s attached to the post. 

@Magnecent 

Thanks.

The first result shows that you have a Sims 4 folder containing the Mods folder in the correct location in Documents > Electronic Arts.

The second result shows you have another Electronic Arts folder in your Home folder. Is that where you have put the CC that isn’t showing up? To find it click on Macintosh HD in a Finder window, then Users, then your User account.

So the first folder I believe is my iCloud folder. That’s where I originally put my mods. It was iCloud Drive > documents > electronic arts > sims 4 > mods. When I put them in that folder it wasn’t showing up. 

however the second folder I believe is the local one. On the actual iMac and I believe that’s where it’s supposed to be as many people made the seams mistake I did and put mods in the iCloud folder. However the problem is that the second folder which is believed to be the correct one lacks a documents folder and I think that’s why my mkds aren’t showing. Instead of it being Makintosh HD  > USERS > magne (my name) > documents > electronic arts > sims 4 > mods … it instead goes Makintosh HD > users > magne then straight to electronic arts. There’s no documents folder. 

@Magnecent 

Nope sorry, that’s not correct. The first folder is not in iCloud, it is locally stored on your Mac. This is where the game reads data from to load your save, mods etc.

The game will not read any data from the second folder. Move the Mods from the second Mods folder into the first one.

Ohh alright. 

but I cannot find the first folder anywhere. That’s the annoying thing. The only documents I can see is the one in iCloud that’s why I thought it was iCloud.
