How do I get my custom content back into my sims 4 game?

[claudiamille490]

i had trouble opening my sims 4 game cos it kept freezing so i moved the sims 4 folder from my documents to my desktop and the game works fine now but i'm not sure how to get my custom content/mods back even though it shows that they are in the mods folder. how do i get them back in the game?

Hi;

You said you moved the entire Sims 4 folder to your desktop; that's normally not a suggested method for resolving the issue. Did you just move the folder entirely to the desktop? You may want to check your documents folder again then, as a regular Sims 4 installation creates and stores integral files there.

If the folders have been recreated in the documents folder, you would need to move the content of your Mods folder from the desktop to the Mods folder in the recreated Sims 4 > Mods folder in documents. Just because the original Sims 4 folder was moved to the desktop does not mean the game will now read from the desktop.
