How do I change the location of my Mods folder?
I installed the sims 4 on my D drive where there is available space (This PC/New Volume(D:)/Program Files(x86)/Origin Games/Sims 4) but when I started the game it created a new Electronic Arts folder in my C drive (This PC/Local Disk C:)/Users/Shallon/Documents/Electronic Arts/Sims 4). The reason this is a problem is because I like to download mods and my C drive has no room for that (I can't remember how much GB of custom content I had before I removed it but it was A LOT lol), and I think it caused my game to "run out of memory", I'm not sure what that means but I started to get popups about that when playing the game. Also I tried dragging the "Electronic Arts" folder from my C drive to my D drive into the "Origin Games" folder but it caused my game to uninstall for some reason, I had to reinstall my game. So my question is how do I move the "Electronic Arts" or even just the "Mods" folder from my C drive to my D drive? I looked up this question but I think the answer I found isn't up to date for Windows 10 Home version 1703, It said to right click on the folder I want to move and go to properties and click on the location tab but the problem is I don't have a location tab. Here's the question: http://www.carls-sims-4-guide.com/forum/index.php?topic=27082.0 .And here's what mine looks like, there is no location tab: Thanks in advance for any suggestions! :smiley: I appreciate any kind of help!62KViews1like29Comments
Accidentally deleted Sims 4 folder now mods and cc aren't showing up
Hey guys, So I had a bit of an issue and accidentally deleted my Sims 4 folder. I restored it from my recycling bin, started the game up and it was like my game had completely reset itself. My mods and cc are not in the game and no matter what I try I can't get them back in. I have enable custom content and mods clicked in game, my resource.cfg is in the right spot... I really don't know what to do.7.3KViews0likes13Comments
Package files for the Sims 4 are showing up as sims3.package files?
I noticed when organizing my mods folder earlier that all of my Sims 4 content now says that they're "sims3.package" files... I'm PRETTY sure that they're not supposed to be called that... Will they still work in my game or will they cause issues? I have no idea how their file type changed to sims3.package files.3.4KViews1like15CommentsMoving Mods from Drive C to D
I'm looking to move my Mods from the C drive to D, where I've got extra storage for all my games and such. Sims 4 is installed on D drive with no issue but I've been looking at ways to move the Documents over to D and keep getting mixed answers. I've seen mention of something called symlink that involves command prompt I guess, then another that has you go into properties and create some sort of shortcut that way. When I did the second way, what came up on my D drive is this sort of shortcut at the very top: https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/454633403065565184/694400212470333500/unknown.png?width=1100&height=619 I'm not certain if that means I can delete what I have in C:\Users\Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 4\Mods or not? It essentially copied over everything in my Documents to Drive D, which was the goal, but I'm uncertain if Sims 4 will know to go there to recognize it or not. Would really appreciate someone giving me a straight, clear answer on what exactly I'm supposed to do and when I can delete what Mod folder I have on C to save up space. This is also on Windows 10.2.4KViews0likes2Comments
.package file
I did something dumb. I'm using Windows 10 and I accidentally changed the program the .package files open with. I changed it to open .package files with internet explorer. I don't know what program it originally used and I tried resetting the default settings option (recommended when I googled how to undo my mistake), but it is still set to open with internet explorer. Please help me. This is so annoying, I don't even know the slightest way to fix this. And I don't want to open it like a Zip file or WinRar, I just want it to look like the normal blank white page icon.1.7KViews1like7Comments
Mods Folder - HELP!!
I had accidentally saved all of my Sims 4 content/folders/etc. onto my VERY low GB C: drive. Eventually, that drive had gotten so full that my laptop no longer had enough space to update itself. I brought this concern up to my brother-in-law and he ended up deleting a lot of my games to free up the space. All of my Sims 4 stuff was deleted and he encourage me to re-install them into my D drive, which I did. Of course I lost all of my save files and all of my in-game library :'( Of course, I am an avid mod user, and right away I have re-downloaded my favorite mods. Except...the whole Sims 4 folder in my D drive looks completely different than it did in my C: drive. I can't find the mods folder ANYWHERE. And yes, I do have a household that I have saved in order to "open up" the mods folder. This is what I see https://imgur.com/a/41P3eUq There is a "mods" folder on the left, but it's located in the C drive! Is that supposed to happen??
Since latest update No Mods will load. I will finish with the Sims if not fixed.
Since the latest update even after ticking the Mods in settings, every time I re-start Sims4 the Mods are still disabled. If this cant be fixed I will have to stop playing the Sims. Some mods were my own creation. Sick to death of updates upsetting game settings, in other games and apps too.534Views1like21CommentsSims 4 packages turn into Sims 3 packages

I have no idea what has happened :'( http://i120.photobucket.com/albums/o197/pawpaws4/SIMS3/S4%20mods%20demo.png414Views1like12Comments
Game still crashing
My Sims 4 is still unplayable after patch update. I've waited a few weeks to play, as I use Mods. I've updated all my mods and game was crashing, so I removed the mods, no change. Last night I was getting so sick of it, I even uninstalled the game (play via steam) copied my save and tray files to desktop and deleted all files. I reinstalled and copied saves/ trays back in and game still crashed Only places I've noticed it does it more is in build mode, I have no bar at bottom, Sims is glitchy when walking and if open phone to call, it crashes. I've purchased the new expansion pack and not even been able to play it!! Any ideas?
