    @WyvernNymph1  The structure of the Sims 4 user folder is exactly the same no matter what platform you use to install the game.  Mods go in Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 4\Mods.  These folders won't exist until you launch the game for the first time.

    As stated up above, your mods go to where the game is installed, which is in ....Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 4

    You label this folder "Mods" (without quotes), and put your files there. Protip: keep in mind some mods have a limitation to how deep your folders can go, so either put it in from 0 to 2 folders deep (you could go deeper, but that's just unnecessary) in your mods folder.

    If your mods also come with households and lots, those go in a separate folder, the Tray folder (....Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 4\Tray\).

    That's all there is to it.
