Re: Problems installing CC

@LittletaIks, first of all you need a program like Stuffit Expander to make sure that you can uncompress a file. Stuffit Expander should be free and you need to download the version that matches your version of your Mac OS. "Zipped" files usually end in the extensions ".zip" or ".rar". In order for Sims 4 to run CC or mods, the uncompressed file has to end in the extension of ".package". Once you uncompress your piece of CC, you place it in your Mods folder in the Sims 4 folder (Documents > Electronic Arts > Sims 4 > Mods). The Tray folder is where houses go if you download them from sites other than the Gallery.

Please report back.

@Tremayne4260 Okay. So do I download that on my app store or is that from the internet? Also, is the version you are talking about Mojavi? Or is there some other place that shows me a version number? And thank you @crinrict. I apologize for posting in the wrong place, still getting my bearings. 😞

Stuffit Expander is an app you find on the internet. I did check the App Store and found one free program and others you have to pay money for. I personally use Stuffit Expander which is free and it works fine for both .rar and .zip files.
And yes, Mojave is 10.14 for the current Mac OS. You can find information about your Mac if you click on the Apple Logo in the Upper Left Hand corner of your screen.

There are several apps you can use to unzip compressed files. I personally use one called The Unarchiver as it can unarchive more formats than any other app available. I have also written a helpful little guide here on how to extract compressed files, with a further link to how to properly install CC 🙂
