How to Install Mods & CC for The Sims 4 on macOS

Start by navigating to your downloaded mod files in Finder, typically located in your Downloads folder.

• If you downloaded the files using Safari, they will automatically unzip. Otherwise, macOS can easily unzip them by double-clicking. This will create a folder with the same name as the zip file. If your download is in another format, like "tar.gz" or "rar", I recommend installing The Unarchiver. It will allow you to unzip these formats by double-clicking them.
• Important: If you have a .ts4script file, do not double click it/unzip it.

Open or expand the folder and move the window aside for the next step.

Can't find your Downloads folder?

• Click the Finder icon on the far left of your Dock.
• In the top menu, open the "Go" menu and select "Downloads".

Now, open a new Finder window:

• Go to the "File" menu and select "New Finder Window".
• Navigate to your Documents folder.
• From there, go to Electronic Arts > The Sims 4, and open the Mods folder.

Can't find your Documents folder?

• With Finder active, open the "Go" menu at the top of your screen and select "Documents".

With both Finder windows open side-by-side, highlight the package/script files you uncompressed and drag them into your Mods folder.

Once you've moved them, you can either drag the leftover files to the Trash or right-click and select "Move to Trash".

Note: If you organize your Mods into folders, make sure script files are no more than one folder deep, as they won’t load properly if they’re nested further.

If this is your first time using Mods, you'll need to adjust a few settings in the game:

• Open the Game Options menu and go to the Other tab.
• Make sure Enable Custom Content and Mods and Script Mods Allowed are both checked.
• Restart your game if any settings were changed.
