How to use custom loading screens on Mac - Sims 4

The base loading screen visuals are overwritten by adding your chosen downloaded loading screen to your mods folder. If you've never accessed your mods folder before and you're playing on a Mac, click on your computer's Documents tab, select Sims 4, and then drag your files into the Mods folder. You can only have one loading screen override in your mods file at a time in order for this to work, so choose carefully.
