[cleoasena]

I unzipped the folders for my animations etc but sims4 folder ended up zipped.. 

im trying to unzip and move content to an open folder but some items won’t move? Any advice or alternative?

everything but the gdfb files moved over

I'm not sure what I'm looking at.

What are you trying to do exactly?

What are these folders - sims4open?

It's a good idea not to ever take pictures of your screen with your phone, but instead use the built in screenshot function, which not only makes the files more readable but also more manageable.

Why is your Sims 4 folder zipped in the first place?

Why do you have 6 setup apps for Origin?

?

I am not sure if the game is installed. This is so confusing.

No matter.

The actual game should not be touched. No need.

You are just working in the Documents folder where your mods residing.

Here is an example how i have it. 
Main mods in root of mod folder. CC in a folder of your liking, i called mine character items.

Just make sure to have no duplicates.

 

If you can, get a code from Origin so you get the up-2-date game on your computer and do not have to worry how to install.

Well, this is the official link. That should work.

Download Origin Client for PC or Mac | Origin

If you are on Steam, it will be automatically installed.

This may be helpful as well.
