I’m just wondering if you know how to fix my issue, my sims game works perfectly fine, no issues there, however when trying to add my cc I’m struggling as it doesn’t appear in game, I’m also using the EA app since origin doesn’t work on my device anymore, I also have an external hard drive ; I have no idea how to get my cc in game, since when I try to add it to the mods folder nothing happens / it doesn’t appear in my game
@katie51609 Sims 4 will still read and write to the user folder in Documents > Electronic Arts regardless of where you've installed the game. If you're already looking there, please make sure the file path to your Mods folder exactly matches the file path you see in-game:

If you do want to move the user folder to your external drive, you'll need to create a symbolic link to tell the game where to look:
I appreciate the help however i think due to my type of laptop maybe the https://crinrict.com/blog/2020/02/moving-windows-documents-folder-to-external-drive-via-symbolic-link.html
didn't work, again I could be doing something wrong but i tried following it step by step, whenever i tried to make an empty text file ( MKLINK /J “%UserProfile%\Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 4” “D:\The Sims 4” ) it would say 'A file name can't contain any of the following characters' . Again, thank you for the help you have given but my brain is malfunctioning lol
@katie51609 Why are you trying to change the name of the text file? The name doesn't matter; the point of opening the text file is so you can modify the command for your purposes, and check your work, before inputting it into Command Prompt.
I am having a very similar problem, only it says "you cannot create a file that already exists". But it does not look like it exists anywhere?
My saves does not show up in game, I tried to make a new save which stays when I close and open the game again. My mods are still installed and I have allowed mods to run in the game including scripts, but it does not show up at all. Pls help :'))))
