CC and Mod Missing

Hi,

I've recently reinstalled The Sims  4 on a new PC after not playing for a couple of years. Last time, when I wanted to add CC and Mods, I simply added the unzipped files to an existing Mods folder. 

This time, however, there's no Mods folder, so I added one. The Issue is that the Mods folder should be added under the Sims 4 folder, under the Electronic Arts folder. I can only find the Sims 4 folder under EA Games. It also doesn't auto-generate a "Resource.cfg" file inside the Mods folder. 

I've chatted with an EA advisor and repaired the game through the app to no avail.

HALP!

  • NoushadR​  You're in the wrong location.  The Electronic Arts folder in your screenshot is for the EA App only, not for Sims 4 data.  The Sims 4 folder in EA Games is for the game itself, as in, the data the EA App installs.  Open Documents > Electronic Arts manually (don't search), open the Sims 4 folder inside, and you should see a Mods folder there.

    If you can't find the Sims 4 folder, let the game tell you where it is, as described here:

    You can write or copy/paste the file path into the address bar in a File Explorer window.

    Thank you (with tears in my eyes) so much!
