You can't just copy/paste a folder within the Sim s 4 folder. The game will ONLY read data in specific folders in the the Sims 4 folder which must be in an Electronic Arts folder in the Documents folder. The file structure must look like this:

Thank you! Now I have to figure out how to get to the Macintosh hd. You’re right my game is in my iCloud which it’s not supposed to be. Hopefully once I copy and paste it in the correct place it will work! 

if you know how to find the correct folder please share! I’m going to Google how now!

    Open a Finder window, click on Go > Go to Folder in the menu bar and enter

    ~/Documents

    This will take you to your Documents folder 🙂

      Thanks so much! 

      one last thing. To keep sims households and mods, all I need to do is copy the tray/saves/ and mode folder to a new computer ?

        Yes but always make sure your Mods are fully compatible with the current patch level of the game.
