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

@frankiesdoll You saw this error with the entire Mods folder removed? It's possible that you opened the OneDrive version of Documents rather than the one stored on your computer. To make sure, open a File Explorer window, click This PC in the left panel, double-click your C drive, then open Users > your username > Documents etc.

If that doesn't help, move the entire Sims 4 folder out of Documents\Electronic Arts and onto your desktop, again going through the This PC path.

@puzzlezaddict No, I removed just that file that the error message warned me of. I still get this error.

@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.

@puzzlezaddict Okay, I did what you said and the game worked perfectly. Do I put my Mods folder back now or? I don't know what to do haha

@puzzlezaddict I... don't know how but I fixed it? I just made a new Mods folder, added all the CC there then moved it to my Sims 4 folder. Thank you so, so much

@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!
