almost all CC files corrupted when moved to new laptop

Question

I just got a new laptop so I transferred my CC from my old laptop to the new. However, now when I try to open the sims it says it can't open because *insert CC file* is corrupted. I tried repairing my game, uninstalling and reinstalling, and re-transferring the files. Downloading any new CC onto this laptop works perfectly fine but once I try it with any of the transferred CC it won't open.&nbsp;(I transferred with a USB from Macbook to Acer Nitro 5 if that helps.)&nbsp;The game works just fine with the CC on my old laptop. I don't know if maybe I'm just doing something wrong but I don't know what it is.&nbsp;

@rrainboa&nbsp; Custom content can get corrupted when transferring between macOS and Windows, for whatever reason.&nbsp; What you can try, if redownloading everything would be a burden, is zipping the files together, uploading them to a free filehosting site (Google Drive, Dropbox, etc.; or use your existing iCloud or OneDrive), and downloading the .zip to a new computer.&nbsp; Both Windows and macOS can compress and extract .zip files.&nbsp; Right-click to see the option in either OS.

If you don't want to make an account for this, you could try zipping a few files together before transferring them via USB.&nbsp; I've never tried this, so I have no idea whether it bypasses the issue with custom content being transferred.&nbsp; But if you do try it, please let me know whether it works.
