So I have a Mac and have the sims 4 studio and I have blender, so it keeps saying it can't find blender and wants me to download it so I just need a way to pull up the path finder system so I can show it where it is on my computer

Hi retrosims, you can set your Blender location by clicking Sims 4 Studio > Preferences from the menu at the top of the screen. Also, make sure that your version of Blender is either 2.76 or 2.78 (I don't think 2.70 the commonly used one on Windows works on most Macs). Any other version will not be recognized at all by Studio. You can use other versions of Blender to work with your .blend file, but you will also need to make sure Studio has access to one of the supported versions.

andrew what order should it go in because that seems to be the issue, like its my hardrive, applications, the blender folder and then the app and it won't work

retrosims I haven't had a chance to look into it yet, but I believe that some Mac users have this issue if the Blender.app isn't directly in their Applications folder. Can you try moving it from the blender folder directly to the Applications folder and update the path in Studio?

I am still using the 2.70a version of blender as my default blender for the game and I am running on High Sierra (10.13) I have no issue with the pathing of blender there and the program works fine.
I would also suggest to give it a go after doing what Andrew suggested in case it doesn't help. But it sounds like a version issue here. You still haven't told us which version of blender you use.

Zelrish can you send a screenshot of what the path to your blender is so I can get an idea?

This is what another Mac user said after facing an issue similar to yours:
"I ended up having to just uninstall s4studios AND blender completely off my computer. then first installed s4studios, then blender 2.78, and I dragged the blender.app into the applications folder."
After those steps, this person was able to use Studio and Blender on their Mac. Please note, the same steps should work if you use Blender 2.70 also. Any Blender version above 2.78 is not recommended, and I cannot vouch for whether it would work. Thus, if you have Blender 2.79 or above, I suggest getting a different version.
