How do I move Sims 4 progress from my Mac to my Windows 10?

Hello, I recently got a PC with Windows 10! On my Macbook, I had the Sims 4 and lots of progress. I put my files on a USB stick and plugged it into PC. It all shows up, but when I move it to the Electronic Arts folder and open The Sims 4 application, nothing appears.

What do I do?

    @frankiesdoll  Again, please move the entire Mods folder to the desktop, delete localthumbcache.package (in the same Sims 4 folder), and test.  You can deal with adding back your mods later.

    If you still get the error, please move the entire Sims 4 folder out of Documents\Electronic Arts and onto your desktop, and test again.

    @frankiesdoll  That's great to hear.  There are a few different possible causes for the issue, including a corrupt Mods folder, as in, the folder itself, which forcing the game to create a new one would fix.  But the important thing is that it works now.

    Hey I’m having this same issue. I compressed while I was transferring from my Mac. A zip folder came up. Do I put the zip folder in the windows mod folder then extract ? I’m so confused lol thanks for the help!
