Can't find Shared folder

I was trying to download the milk thistle lighting mod and the instructions were to find data/shared/worlds/areas but the shared folder wasn't there and I don't know what to do. PLEASE help. I added a picture of what it looks like below.

  • MoonlarkS1  This isn't what you're asking, but do you have Sims 4 installed into Documents?  I ask because I see OneDrive in the file path.  Having the game itself anywhere OneDrive can touch it is setting yourself up for a whole host of problems, so I would suggest uninstalling and reinstalling elsewhere before doing anything else.

    If you're not sure where you've installed the game, open the EA App and click Sims 4 > Manage > View properties, and you'll see the location there.

    Before uninstalling, make a backup copy of the saves and Tray folders, and Mods as well if you use them.  Here's how to find their exact location:

    I'd be happy to help with the original issue, but I don't want to do that alone and leave your install vulnerable to all the usual OneDrive-related issues.
