Files are gone or moved

I just played my Sims 4 two days ago and all was fine. Now it's like the files have been all re-arranged. Will reinstalling help? I have all packs and Expansions...will I need to re-installl them all, or just Sims 4. I've looked on Origin and can't find any where to re install content. Where would I look, and will it help?

  • @Vatrovia  Your mods go in the Mods folder in Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 4.  The whole Sims 4 folder will be created the first time you launch the game after installing it.  Be sure to enable custom content and script mods in the game options before quitting.

    If you don't see the folder even after you've opened the game once, open a File Explorer window and search for "config" without quotes.  Find the one that's inside a Sims 4 folder, right-click on it, go to the file location, and you'll be inside the user data folder that also has a Mods folder.

    @elxoxo2003  Does your computer run Windows or macOS?  What happens when you try to download or install Origin?  If you get an error message, please either copy and paste exactly what it says, or post a screenshot.
