1. Sims 4 Resource Cfg Download
2. Resource.cfg File Sims 4 Mods

1. In the drop down menu, select the second option (all files) and then scroll to your old resource.cfg file and overwrite it. Now you are able to go five sub-folders deep in your mods folder. I suggest that you keep all your mods on the top level and only use the sub-folders for your custom content.
2. What did dissapear, the Mods folder, the shortcut to the Mods folder or the resource.cfg file? Remember the Mods folder should be in Documents/Electronic Arts/The Sims 4. Don't worry, you don't need to create a new account. You wouldn't have the game in the new account, indeed. Just tell me which you are missing and I will help you.

The user files can be found in the following folder: Documents Electronic Arts The Sims 4 Sims 4 sometimes also uses the folder in OneDrive if you use that. More information on how you can out where your user folder is located in detail can be found here: How to find your user folder.

Where can I find my user files ?

The user files can be found in the following folder: DocumentsElectronic ArtsThe Sims 4

What meaning do the folders and files have ?

Custom Music

Your music in mp3 format (unclear which form they need to have). You need to put the music files in one of the sub folders and not into the custom music folder directly.

Tray

The households/houses/rooms you have saved to the library. There are several files per library entry.

It’s good advice to move the households/houses/rooms you don’t use on a regular basis to an external drive for backup. It seems that too many files in this folder can lead to lags.
