I recently downloaded Sims 4 Studio--and after many many hours--I was able to get it to open, and I've even used it to add things to my games. I followed a few different tutorials on Youtube to figure out how to download S4S, (as well as how to use it) and in most of what I came across, a Sims 4 Studio "shortcut" was mentioned and said to help importing files because you can just drag it onto the shortcut. Of course, if doing something will make my life easier, I'll do it--so yeah I have the S4S shortcut on my desktop. Here's the part that got me thinking "whaaaaaaaa???" There is already an item (or whatever it is, I'm not so knowledgeable when it comes to computers) for S4S--AND because I added a shortcut, I can see them side by side and they do not look the same. They also aren't the same--the shortcut is shown in the info panel as "kind: alias" while the other one says "kind: volume". Since I have absolutely no clue what that stuff means, I've been trying to look it up but getting the information I need isn't so easy--I'm also not even sure if I'm searching for the right thing(s) or not. This "other" S4S is ejectable, and it says it was created and modified on June 17th of 2024. The shortcut has the modified and created dates both as July 6th of 2024 (at 4:07 PM) and it obviously cannot be ejected. Should I eject this version of S4S? I'm scared that if I do, I'll have to re-install it (which I am an expert at now because I did it 5 times) which means that I won't be able to use it right now I guess...so...yup...I'm just impatient...and this is a realization I am just having now...Uhh I think I'll still put this up though cuz there could be other people with this issue/question as well and I still really want to know what this thing is.
Also, the shortcut I added doesn't actually work, the file just ends up on my desktop stacked on-top of the shortcut so it's actually useless? But I think that's something that has to do with me and my computer. Since the shortcut isn't currently doing it's job, I thought maybe the "other" S4S was actually the shortcut, and what I added to my desktop is just some dumb thing, buuuuuuut when I drag it on top of the icon, the cursor turns into that circle with a diagonal line across it (that sign that means "no" sorry I don't know what it's called) so clearly that won't work. It is interesting that that symbol shows up though, at least I find it interesting.
So to summarize: There is this ejectable Sims 4 Studio thingy? Possibly an extended drive or disc, but I don't know what either of those are or what they do. I want to know if this is something everyone/other people have too because I may just be overly cautious and this could definitely be nothing to waste a thought over. I did notice it in a few of those tutorial videos I mentioned, but I only saw it in the tutorials for installing on Mac, so I'm also wondering if this is isolated to Apple users and also completely normal. Can I delete this? Should I eject it? Or would the program no longer work. I couldn't find anything about it in relation to S4S, so was there information on this or a notes to delete (or not to delete) that I missed out on? Anyway, sorry if this question is stupid and sorry it's so long too
if anyone knows anything let me know and if it's computer talk please explain it like I'm a toddler that has the language skills of a toddler, or like I'm really old and have to use my computer to login to every account I have because the passwords and usernames are saved, and I don't know how to login on anything else.
k bye :D
*edit: I was worried about posting this in the wrong place and I did
but if this is the wrong place too let me know I guess? But I really hope not because that would be sooooo embarrassing!
k bye, again, for real this time (hopefully) :D
