I think most people will have it in the default path and won’t need to change this but if it is installed elsewhere you’d need to point this to your Sims 4 Game folder. game_folder refers to your Sims 4 Installation.# Location of folder to contain your projects projects_folder = "D:\\juneh\\Documents\\Sims 4 Projects" However, remember, my Documents folder has been moved to a different drive so I still have to update it anyways. I placed mine inside of Documents\Sims 4 Projects so it already matches what’s inside of the settings.py file. In our case it’s where we dropped our Hello World project in. This is how I stay organized and the downside to using templates and boilerplate projects is it’s not easy to set it up to work a different way if you don’t want that workflow and setup. The projects_folder is where all of your Sims 4 projects are, including the Python library and Tuning files.

# Sims 4 mod folder location mods_folder = "D:\\juneh\\Documents\\Electronic Arts\\The Sims 4\\Mods" Windows is weird, even though it’s the same Document folder you still have to change it if it’s been moved otherwise it won’t work and there won’t be any errors. I’m going to go ahead and change it because my Documents folder is located on a different Hard Drive. If you’re on a different platform like OSX or your Documents folder is located elsewhere on Windows you need to change this. The default works fine for most Windows users.

Please let me know if it’s not either by leaving a comment on here or by filing an issue at the issue tracker here. I’m using Windows, but this ~ should ~ be cross-platform compatible.

This is the tutorial for the project template I made which lays out the new project groundwork for you and comes with scripting to automate much of the modding process.
