Re: getting a new laptop, is there a way to transfer mods folder and saves

@lily_wray330 You could use an external USB drive, a thumb drive, or cloud storage. Copy the files from your old laptop to whatever storage device you choose and then transfer them from storage to your new laptop. For the game itself and all of your expansion packs just log into your Origin account from your new laptop and download your content from there. 

It's very important, like @Psychotps said, to run Sims 4 on your new laptop at least one time before you transfer your files over, otherwise the game might not properly recognize the folders and you'll be troubleshooting why your mods and CC do not appear in your game.

ohh okay that makes a lot of sense, thank you for your help! if i don’t have a usb or anything is there a way to just like send it to the new computer ahha (im very bad with computers) 

@lily_wray330 There are other options but a USB thumb drive would probably be the easiest for you to use. You'll likely have many other files and folders you'll want to transfer from your old laptop to your new laptop and a thumb drive would work great for this as well as you can use them over and over again. You can get one very cheap, something like a 64 GB Thumb Drive is less than $10 USD on sites like Amazon or you can find them in most stores. Some other options for transferring files would be using cloud storage (i.e. OneDrive) or you could just burn the files to a CD.

ah okay thank you i’ll see if i have one going around anywhere if not i’ll buy one as they seem useful! xx
