I really really do hope that EA will fix issue 3 asap. I love to download CC and I can entertain myself for hours with just downloading... Read that there is a patch coming up in March, really hope they will fix it then!
I can't find my Sims 4 folder! I downloaded my game on Orgin, and I do have the Sims 3 installed so I already have my Electronic Arts folder, however there is no folder that has the Sims 4 set up stuff! I'm really upset because I wanted custom content in my games but I've even restarted my computer and there is still no Sims 4 folder :( does anyone know how to find it?

Have you booted up the game yet? There won't be a folder for the sims 4 until you boot up the game.
I played on Windows for a while before the Mac version came out and I switched back to my native operating system. I didn't copy my CC folder over from my old game, just redownloaded new CC. Everything's running pretty much smoothly (nothing I can't troubleshoot by myself), except for one thing - the gallery. If I save a sim that has CC to my personal gallery, it won't show up at all, much less if I try to upload it to the gallery. If I remove the CC from my game, I can save sims to the gallery. If I go to my profile in-game, it says I have "4 creations", but I can only see one. Basically it's just not working at all. Any tips?
(I feel like this makes no sense, I'll try to clarify if you're confused.)
I don't know if you were able to find the solution to this, but I had the same problem. You have to enable "View with CC" option in the advanced section of the gallery, even if you're viewing your own content.
As you can see, when the CC box is checked I can now view additional content in My Library.
I just had to comment and say thank you to @SimGuruModSquad because the temp solution to issue 3 is amazing and I can finally add all the CC I want! Just an FYI for those looking to use it, the code should read (in all lowercase):
sudo launchctL limit maxfiles unlimited
at first, I thought the "L" at the end of launchctl was instead the number 1, but I had to double check. And I'm glad I did, because apparently really bad things can happen when you type incorrect code into the terminal after the "sudo" command. Just thought I'd share the lesson with those who might need it!

Yes they can but only if the OS recognises the command. When someone gives you a command to put into Terminal, and they are a trusted source as in this case, you should really just copy and paste it without typing it yourself

Ah, I didn't realize copy/paste was an option in terminal, I've always typed things out by hand... guess I'm old school like that. I will be doing that for every future instance where I have to enter the code though -- thanks for the heads up!

Heads up to everyone. I was encountering issue 3 but even after the terminal workaround was still unable to open the game.
I'd read that its fine to put your package files in folders and had it all nicely organized. Turns out the most I can have is one folder, no more or the whole game won't open. Noticed someone mentioning something like this but I thought I would clarify. Do not use more than one folder-level in the Mode folder. (ex I can have Mods -> Tulton -> .pkg files, but not Mods -> Bathroom lsn-> Tulton -> .pkg files.

I had the same problem. Do you have post processing effects on? I turned that off, restarted the game and it went back to normal. Another time, I went into CAS and changed the hair a few times and went back to the original hair , and it went back to normal out of CAS.
@BluebellFlora I can't use any cc except hair. The hair works fine. @Teddybearhoneybee I don't have that on no. And I've tried to change stuff around. Still have the same problem so I just don't use the cc anymore.
@lilmiszcee - I thought this was a CC issue as you've posted in the CC/mods thread? What happens when you move your Sims 4 folder out onto the desktop and play a completely new game without any CC or previous saves? Does your Sim still 'glow'?
Judging by what @Teddybearhoneybee has said about hair, maybe the hair is the issue? It would help the community if you listed the CC hair you've installed.

No problem. Terminal isn't to be messed with

No that's not it. It looks different from that. And I don't have Intel HD 4000 graphics either.
What graphics do you have? Can you post a link to a picture?
Is this the issue? I had the same thing happen to me. No fix as of yet.

Unfortunately I can't post a link or picture because I'm a "new" member. But yes! It seems to be the same problem as @yelly201.
This is such a ridiculous situation that people can't post pictures showing problems they're having. Well done EA.

Oh wow, they look coated in plastic! Have you figured out what CC is causing it yet?
