Default I can't find a SavedSims folder?
I want to install downloaded Sims into my game, but I can't find my 'SavedSims' Folder. I've been looking on Google for a solution and I can't find one. I've tried going to the Sim creator and saving them into the bin, but it isn't making the folder appear. Will it work if I just make a folder called SavedSims? And how can I access them in-game so I know if it worked or not?

i am on windows and my Saved Sims Folder is located at
Documents => Electronic Arts => The Sims 3 => SavedSims so there is no space inbetween if you want to search it directly on your computer. hope you can find it better. this folder should have been generated by EA on first start-up
edit: take care installing downloaded sims and verify the place you got them is reliable please

For some reason, the folder hasn't been generated. It's not in my Sims folder.

Just make one and put the .sims files in there. That's what I did and it's not a problem. Don't put sims3packs in there. They still go into "Downloads".

Where can I access them in-game to make sure they worked?

They will be in your CAS screen, in the pre-made Sims bin.
