I've gotten my saves to load! But not my mods. How do I properly move them to the mods folder?

    @LoveisLove767  Are mods enabled in the game options?  Have you tried one subfolder at a time?  Some mods may be outdated, but a few at least should be working properly.

    If that doesn't help, please take another screenshot (the ones before were perfect) of the Mods folder inside Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 4.  I'll check back in a few hours.

    @puzzlezaddict I'll send a screenshot in just a minute But the game literally won't run. I click the tab and it just whisks me right to the origin store.

    @LoveisLove767  Okay, has the game run at any point during this process?  When was the last time it did?  If you can, backtrack and restore your Sims 4 folder to what it was when the game ran.  If you can't or aren't sure what you did, that's fine; just let me know and we can start again.

    It was not on at the time. How can I backtrack and restore the folder for when the game ran? I'm curious about that. Srry this is taking so long, by the way.

    @LoveisLove767  It's fine.  Just rename the Sims 4 folder in Documents\Electronic Arts to "Backup 2."  Let me know if the game runs.  You won't have your saves or anything, but the important question is whether it opens at all.
