Transfer history from PC-Mac and Mac-PC

Hey everyone. I want to play The Sims 4 alternately on my PC and on my Macbook, but my simmers, there history's, houses and so on does not get transferred from PC to Mac and from Mac to PC. I am logged ind on EA (both on PC and Mac), and the app registers when I buy expansion packs and so on. How can I transfer the things I've done on my Mac to my PC, and from my PC to my Mac?

 

  • Stine01  Saves and other user data are stored locally on your computer, not on EA servers.  So you'll need to manually move the files back and forth, or set up some kind of syncing service.  However, auto-sync functions can interfere with the same, so either disable syncing before playing, or manually transfer your files.

    For an idea of what's in your user folder, please see this:

    You'll probably only need to transfer the contents of saves and Tray, but it's worth knowing what the other files and folders do as well.
