If the ‘The Sims 4’ folder or 'Mods' folder is missing, you have to turn the game on and off at least once.

Don’t extract the entire ZIP file into the Mods folder, open the ZIP file and move or copy and paste the ‘WickedWhimsMod’ folder.
The ‘WickedWhimsMod’ folder has to be in the Mods folder. If it’s in another folder, move it to the Mods folder.
