@belladarlinq The game should have already created the Mods folder inside Documents > Electronic Arts > The Sims 4. (The file path to the user folder is the same in the EA App as it was in Origin.) If you're not seeing it there, make sure you're looking at the correct version of Documents; the path needs to exactly match what you see in-game:

Yes I know that, I've been playing Sims with mods for years now but when I moved it to Ea, the folders completely changed. none of the documents are what they used to be, i've gone through ea to make sure i'm looking at the correct folder, i'm just not sure what to do now
@belladarlinq Okay, but I'm telling you that the user folder needs to exist somewhere on your computer, and the link I posted describes how to find the file path to folder. Please find the file path, as described, and then open it to find your Mods folder.
If this Sims 4 folder doesn't contain a Mods folder, please post a screenshot of its contents so I can see whether anything else is missing.
I still can't find my mods folder. there isn't one at all on my computer now
this is what those folders look like now.
@belladarlinq Your screenshot shows the game's program files, a separate set of data that has no bearing on the user files.
Please go in-game and find the full file path to the user folder , as described in the link I posted earlier. Here it is again:
https://sims4.crinrict.com/eng/2018/07/how-to-find-your-user-folder/
Then open that series of folders. If you still can't figure it out, post the file path the game is telling you it's reading, as above.
hi, i have the same problem as the other person and i think you're misunderstanding the issue. my old mods folder still exists, but it seems like it is no longer connected to the sims game anymore. when i find my user folder, mods is there, but when i launch the game, it says my mods folder is empty. also, when i go on ea and try to find the sims file through there, the mods folder is not there, and it looks the same as the other person's file.
@liebo1 I'm not misunderstanding anything. Mods and custom content need to be inside the Sims 4 folder that the game is reading. If the files are anywhere else, for example in another Sims 4 folder the game is no longer using, those mods won't load. That's why I asked the original poster to go in-game and find the full file path to the user folder.
Please do that as well, as described here:
https://sims4.crinrict.com/eng/2018/07/how-to-find-your-user-folder/
Then put your mods in that same folder, and it does need to have exactly the same file path as you see in-game.
If you're not sure what you're looking at, post that file path here, and also post the file path to one of your mods. For the latter, right-click the file and select Properties > General, then list the Location.
