    Great. You have two Sims 4 folders, one in a folder called My Documents on your desktop and one in your Documents > Electronic Arts folder. The CC needs to be in the latter, in the Mods subfolder.

    @Bluebellflora yes, there's still no cc showing up,, i'm not sure if it has to do with me deleting some files in the beginning (based on what some tutorials said) 

    should i delete the cc and reinstall it or is there anything else to be done?

    Ok. Let's try another Mods search. Try this command in Terminal:

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

    Paste the results here and then we can do a search of the contents of that folder.

    /Users/mariamzacca/Desktop/Documents/Electronic Arts/The Sims 4/Mods

    /Users/mariamzacca/Desktop/clutter/ts42/Mods

    /Users/mariamzacca/Documents/Sims 4 Studio/Mods

    /Users/mariamzacca/Documents/Electronic Arts/The Sims 4/Mods

     

    so in one of the tutorials someone said to rename my sims 4 folder in order for ea to generate a new one when i start up the game (the old one's called ts42 and its in a folder called clutter) 

     

    which do i delete?

    The one in bold shows the Mods folder where your CC/Mods should be. 

    Ignore the Sims 4 Studio one.

    The other two are on your desktop. If your CC/Mods are in one of those two Mods folders you need to move them into the one in bold.

    If they are in the one in bold and still not showing in the game, please paste this into Terminal, hit return and paste the results here. This is showing the contents of the Mods folder (the one above in bold):

    ls -l /Users/mariamzacca/Documents/Electronic\ Arts/The\ Sims\ 4/Mods

    Thanks. That shows that the Mods folder the game is using (the one in bold in my previous post) is empty. Your Mods must be in one of the other Mods folders, on your desktop. Move them over to the one in Documents > Electronic Arts > The Sims 4 and they should load.

    I don't know why you have a Documents folder on the desktop but your game is not looking there for your saves and mods.

    The game looks for saves, game settings, Mods etc. in this location:

    /Users/mariamzacca/Documents/Electronic Arts/The Sims 4

    In your Finder sidebar you should see a Documents folder. it is that Documents folder that is in the file path above and where the Mods folder is that you should put your Mods in.

    I'm not really sure how I can make it any clearer ☹️
