I'm new to the forums but i'm not new to the sims. I have an issue that i've been unable to resolve on my own, thus i'm asking for assistance. I have an older model imac with osx sierra. I've run sims 3 with no issues.

With sims 3, i used custom content and mods and i know how to install them using the folders in electronic arts. I just purchased sims 4 deluxe digital version from origin the other day and i've opened and played the game. I want to use custom content and mods with sims 4, but when i go to electronic arts in my documents, all i see is a folder for sims 3. I've tried opening origin and 'repairing' the game, i've tried uninstalling and reinstalling, i've tried playing the game for hours and saving a bunch of different games, i've tried restarting my computer, etc. Nothing is working. I've also taken a look at my iCloud settings but i don't use iCloud on my mac, so the tutorial i found on disabling it and the information saying it didn't work with the EA folder doesn't apply to me. Does anyone have any solutions or ideas for things i can try?

I just wanna use cc and mods like i did with sims 3. Trying to think of ways to find your Sims 4 folder. Looking at it as if I had lost my Sims 4 folder, what would I do to see if I can find it. If you've been able to play the game, it's has to be on your computer some where.

If you've tried searching your computer to see if you can find it and not finding it (Search for The Sims 4) There are a couple more ways of finding where your Sims 4 folder is hiding. Load Sims 4, go to the load game menu, click a saved game and mouse over the little folder icon under the saved game's name. Like shown in the photo below. (click image for larger view) Hopefully this should tell you where your Sims 4 folder is located. In my game, it's shown to be located in Documents Electronic Arts The Sims 4 2. If you can't find it in the way explained above, another way of finding the path to where your Sims 4 folder is - Load the game, click the Options button Game Options Screen Capture and check the path for either video or screenshots. Either of these should tell you where your Sims 4 folder is located.

When i played sims 3, i used the electronic arts folder for mods, same thing that you're supposed to do for sims 4, so instinctively i checked it first.

I have the electronic arts folder (under documents, where it should be) yet it doesn't contain any sims 4 folder. I also tried searching my entire computer for anything 'sims 4' related and all i got back was the actual game, no folders or anything else.

I'm totally stumped. I'm gonna try opening up the game and downloading content from the community gallery and see if that maybe kickstarts the sims 4 folder in electronic arts? But who knows.

Edit:: i forgot to mention i also searched for my saved games and nothing came up for their names, either. I really appreciate your efforts. I clicked on your broken image links and viewed your screenshots at Imgur.com It's so weird that you can't find your Sims 4 folder, when your screenshot shows that it should be located at: Users/Chai/Documents/ElectronicArts/Sims4 (I downloaded your image from Imgur, reformatted to.jpg, then reposted it) Invalid Attachment I'm not a Mac user but do you need to be logged into your Mac as Chai to see your files?
