How do I transfer my sims 4 cc from mac to pc?

I just got a new pc and all my sims 4 data and the game is on my old mac. Yesterday I downloaded Origin onto my new pc and this morning, the game had finished downloading so I was able to open it. Obviously it didn't have any of my mods or cc, So I took a flash drive and transferred all my mods and cc from my mac onto my flash drive and then onto my new computer. Except when I moved my cc to my new mods folder on my pc it started to say some of my files were corrupted and couldn't be downloaded onto onedrive. None of my files were corrupted on my mac and worked on my game just fine...? So then I disconnected save to onedrive and I have all the files on documents on my pc. Then when I started the game it wouldn't open because it said a file was corrupted and needed to be deleted for it to open. So I went and deleted that file from my mods but then when I opened the game again it kept showing the same message each time without opening. So I went and repaired the game. It still showed the same message. SO finally I uninstalled the game and I will have to wait hors for it to install again, but how can I transfer my mods safely without my pc reading them as corrupted?

    Moving this to the Sims 4 tech. forum, hopefully a Windows user will be able to help. Have you re-downloaded one of the corrupted mods and tested to see if it works on your PC?

    Edited to add that CC/Mods should be compatible on either platform.

    Macs use a different file system than Windows which is likely the cause of your problem.

    Go to the places where you got your CC and download from there.

  • Have you tried redownloading the mods from the sites you got them from and installing that way ?
  • I recommend you to save every link from every ítem and put it on a Google docs and then open the links in your new pc and re-download everything. It takes a lot of time but it really helpful.
  • thank you I will try that! Very helpful thanks! 😉
