I recently downloaded EA & Sims 4 on an external hard drive. I loaded the game, created a sim, and moved the sim into a home, saved the game blah blah blah. The issue is when I go back to my files, I cannot find my mods folder & save files. I went Electronic Arts> EA Desktop. Then it shows 2 folders. EA Desktop again and StagedEADesktop. What am I doing wrong ? How can I find my mods folder & save files ?

@bellasone28 The files are in Documents > Electronic Arts > The Sims 4. The Electronic Arts folder you've opened is likely in Program Files and contains the program files for the EA App, not Sims 4 user data. If you need further help finding the folder, please see this: https://sims4.crinrict.com/eng/2018/07/how-to-find-your-user-folder/
