Ok I'm just going to apologize rn for how dumb this happened. Sooooo my Sims game wasn't even loading so I could play, it kept trying to open then it would close and open Origin. I looked up a few things and someone posted something that said it works. It said that if I moved the whole "Sims 4" folder somewhere else, opened Origin, closed it again, then move the "Sims 4" folder back to its spot and then it's all good. So I did that and moved everything back to where it supposed to go and it all looked good. But when I went back to where I put the "Sims 4" folder temporarily, there was still one there. I assumed that I copied it so I just threw that one away and cleared it all out (I can't stand my trash bin being full), right after I did that I thought to myself "well I should've checked first" and I should've. I went back to the "Electronic Arts", opened it, opened "Sims 4" and it told me that the original folder couldn't be found. So I went back and had to download everything again and the "Sims 4' folder is still gone but when I go to the launchpad (I have a Mac) "Sims 4" is there. Please help me, I don't know much about computers except what I really need to.
The Sims 4 in your Documents > Electronic Arts folder is your user data. This is where your saves are stored, in-game graphics settings, CC/Mods if you use them, and game cache files.
When you move the Sims 4 folder out of the Electronic Arts folder and launch your game it is forcing the game to create a new Sims 4 folder as it thinks you are launching your game for the first time. This is the first, and most important, troubleshooting step as user data can become corrupted resulting in a game which will not load.
I thought my game would give me a new file, and I was trying to reset my folder to fix an issue, so I deleted my folder and played the game and it didn't give me a new folder, can I get like a copy of a blanks sims file or find a way to get a new one besides that? i've tried downloading a backup steam sims folder but it wasn't the same type of sims folder
I accidentally deleted my sims 4 game including the files, so i had to re download the sims 4. when I went to look for the files so i could put in some cc they weren't there. Does anyone know how to fix this problem
And Since I have my mods, tray and save folders copied, if the sims 4 folder does reappear, should I replace the entire mods, tray and save folder or do i just replace the =m by dragging the items in the copies folders.
@bunnies270 Please check both Program Files and Program Files (x86) for a folder named EA Desktop App or something similar. I don't think the app installs to the Origin Games folder if it's not already there, but look for that folder too.
Or you can open a File Explorer window, click This PC in the left panel, and search for "TS4_x64" in the upper right corner. When you see the file, highlight it and click "Open file location," which will take you to the Bin folder.
@hqwpulz47872 Then you're looking in the wrong folder, that is if your computer runs Windows. Do NOT look inside Documents > Electronic Arts. Instead, look within the game's program files, which by default would be in one of these locations:

I've had issues in the past with my custom content not appearing in the game, and I vaguely remember being told to delete the mods folder on the promise that when I reopen the game another mods folder will appear automatically. I don't think this happened. I now do not have a mods folder, is there any way to get a new mods folder or if creating one manually would work? Not an urgent question, seeing as I'm getting a mac next week, and I'm hoping that when I install the game on the mac all of the folders will automatically install as well. But if you have a solution off the top of your head, let me know!
I have a problem too with my mods folder. Yesterday I bought the sims 4 base game with the cats and dogs expansion pack , the location of mine sims 4 folder is in C:\Program Files (x86)\Origin Games and when i open it , it didnt have mods folder i made one and then i put my mods and cc the cc and mods that i have inside dont show up in my game and i have inside the mods folder the resource.cfg file but still they dont show up in my game . What can I do ? Do I need to buy all the packs ?
The user files are located in Documents>Electronic Arts in a folder called The Sims 4. Inside that folder is a folder called Mods, this is where you install your mods and CC.
Detailed tutorial:
-sims-4-guide.com/tutorials/mods-cc.php
I would suggest you delete the mods folder you put in with the program files, and do a Repair in Origin for good measure:
Origin>My Game Library right click The Sims 4 icon, choose Repair in the drop-down menu.
@LottieGrayYT That's not the Sims 4 folder where you need to add mods. As the original instructions say, the correct folder is in Documents\Electronic Arts. Be sure to start your game at least once, so that this Sims 4 folder will be created.
Hi... I've been trying to install a reshade to my game but I can't find my sims 4 folder. The thing is, I don't know why my origin games folder is empty there is nothing. So yea, please can someone help me, I really wanna install the reShade.
@AlexEliz535 I think Reshade is to be installed wth the program files, not the user files; so look for them where you have the game installed, usually by this path: C:\Program Files (x86)\Origin Games\The Sims 4\Game\Bin and choose the .exe file.
Best help for Reshade you will get on their own forums though.
@Taylokay006 Open a File Explorer window, click This PC in the left panel, and search for TS4_x64 . When it shows up, click on it and click the "open file location" menu button, and you'll jump to the correct folder. Once you're there, take a look at the address bar, above the list of files and folders, which shows the full file path. This way, you know where to look the next time you want to access the game's program files.
I've never used this forum (?) before so I don't know what that means, but I literally am so desperate to find my program files and do not know how to reinstall my game safely through Origin so they show up. If you can't answer me don't reply so that I don't get my hopes up. Also the given answers I already attempted did not work. Thanks lol
The Sims is a series of life simulation video games developed by Maxis and published by Electronic Arts. The franchise has sold nearly 200 million copies worldwide, and is one of the best-selling video game series of all time. It is also part of the larger Sim series, started by SimCity in 1989.
The games in the Sims series are largely sandbox games, in that they lack any defined goals (except for some later expansion packs and console versions which introduced this gameplay style). The player creates virtual people called "Sims", places them in houses, and helps direct their moods and satisfy their desires. Players can either place their Sims in pre-constructed homes or build them themselves. Each successive expansion pack and game in the series augmented what the player could do with their Sims.
Wright has stated that The Sims was meant as a satire of U.S. consumer culture.[3] Wright took ideas from the 1977 architecture and urban design book A Pattern Language, American psychologist Abraham Maslow's 1943 paper A Theory of Human Motivation and his hierarchy of needs, and Charles Hampden-Turner's Maps of the Mind to develop a model for the game's artificial intelligence.[1]
The Sims was the first game in the series. Developed by Maxis and published by Electronic Arts, it was released for Microsoft Windows on February 4, 2000.[4] The game used dimetric projection and featured open-ended simulation of the daily activities of one or more virtual people ("Sims") in a suburban area near SimCity. Seven expansion packs and two deluxe editions with exclusive content were released. It was repackaged in several different formats, and different versions of it were released on several different platforms. By March 22, 2002, The Sims had sold more than 6.3 million copies worldwide, surpassing Myst[5] as the best-selling PC game in history at the time. The original game, all seven expansion packs, and the two deluxe edition content packs constitute the first generation of the PC release. Maxis developed all PC releases. By February 2005, the game had shipped 16 million copies worldwide.[6]
