Re: sims 4 legacy - cc error (user data directory??)

@nineofpentacles 

Please could you click on your Mods folder, where your actually CC is, once to select it then go to File > Get Info. Under the General > Where section near the top of the info window please copy and paste the location of your Mods folder here.

    Move that Sims 4 Legacy folder in Documents > Electronic Arts to your desktop and launch the game to create a new one. Close the game without saving and move the contents, not the folder but just the contents, of your moved saves folder into the newly created one. Launch the game to check it loads the saves as it should. Now do the same with the Mods files.
  • same thing happened, unfortunately. it created another new folder and version of itself and launched that one. it didn't have a single one of my saves, either. got same message as top post. sorry to keep bothering you with this.

    and the other part oops

    are you attempting to play the normal version of the game or the legacy edition? legacy

    are you running any antivirus? SOPHOS

    have you tried to repair the game in origin? right click on the game in my games and select repair game. no oops. will do that and add to this thread

    do you use CC/mods? if so, have you tried removing them and seeing if that fixes your problem? yes and yes. it did not fix the problem.

    Thanks 🙂 Do you have iCloud Drive set up to store your Documents folder in the cloud? You can check in System Preferences > iCloud. If you do could you please check how much storage is left on your Mac?
