How to transfer mods and cc folders from Mac to PC ?

I've got new gaming pc today and it's almost set to play sims 4.
Yesterday I saved sims 4 from Mac to usb. Today I downloaded sims 4 on pc, transferred saves from usb to new sims 4 folder on pc, game works fine, I can play my old saves.
The problem begins when I try to place mods and cc folders from usb to the new sims 4 folder on pc. I was dragging 1 mod at the time but it gives me error message (corrupted files) and won't start the game. I've tried each mod and cc folder, same error message every time.
I know I can download all mods again, but what about cc collection ?

Sometimes there can be issues when transferring mods/cc from Mac to pc.
Try removing the mods folder from the new sims 4 folder. Then launch the game, play the game for a little while and a new mods folder will be generated. Exit the game, then try placing your mods/cc from the USB into the new mods folder.
If you copied over your old "options" or "options.ini " file from the Mac, remove that, launch the game, and let the game generate a new one. You will need to fix up the settings in game options though.

16GB hyper X fury
MSI GTX 1080
MSI gaming M5 mobo
Evga 750 supernova
Corsair hydro h110i GT
Corsair obsidian 750D
500GB SSD
6TB Seagate Barracuda Pro
LG 34" ultra wide
I did all of that, but only saves file is transferred successfully. Adding mods game doesn't start at all.
Check to make sure that no duplicate files are generated when transferring over the files. This has sometimes occured and caused issues. Make sure that there is only one resource.cfg file in the mods folder.
You may need to redownload the mods/cc again. I am sorry

Try also installing the cc files without them being in sub folders and see if that prevents the error messages.

I opened my usb again and looked at the fast shower mod and I found 2 files instead of 1. First one had ._ symbols in front, another didn't, the rest was identical. So I transferred only 1 file without ._ symbols and it worked !!!
Then I went to the cc file and saw the same thing. Each cc peace I have was duplicated. First column had all cc files with ._ in front of each file, second column had no ._ symbols. I chose second column, placed it in game AND IT WORKED !
I would post pictures if I would know how to make screenshots on pc but don't know how to do that yet.
These are guides to taking screenshots on a pc

When I transfer the cc files from the usb to the Sims 4 Mods it shows all the CC that I'm transfering and it shows thrt it is transfering the ._ files but when I check the Sims 4 Mods File I can't find THEM! It's like they are hidden!
I really need help!!
I couldnt see the files because in my windows the option "See Hidden Items" wasnt on!
It is great that your boyfriend was able to help you with the issue

I'm glad you found it. I know how you felt when couldn't
I just want to clear for other people who are going to have the same problem. When I found duplicate file I was looking at the files in USB, USB was in the computer. I was able to see regular files and duplicates with ._ symbols. So I transferred only correct files to the sims 4 folder and it worked immediately.
