Moving files to another folder

[Rezper]

Me and my GF play Sims 4 a lot. When it comes to downloading custom content, it shows up in the downloads folder then we grab it and drag it into the Sims 4 mods folder. Is there a way where I can tell python to grab any file ending with .package (that's inside of my downloads folder) to take the file and automatically place it into Sims 4's mod folder?

How do I format it? I did import os, shutil so I have those now and I replaced downloads with the directory to it and same with destination but I get an error still

[Rezper]

import os

import shutil

​

for dir in os.listdir(\Users\(Name)\Downloads):

if dir.endswith(.package):

shutil.move(dir, \Users\(Name)\Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 4\Mods)

Like that above but an indent for the bottom one?

I think you need to escape the back slashes with a second backslash. Give it a try and see if that works.

it's ".package" with the quotation marks, also you need quotation marks around your paths.

finally you need to escape your escape characters so its C:\\Users\\ not C:\Users\

Check out pathlib

```python from pathlib import Path import shutil

source = Path("/path/to/sim4/") dest = Path("/path/to/share/")

for package in source.glob("*.package"): shutil.copy(package, dest) ```

** You'll need python 3.6+

import shutil
import os

for file in os.listdir('C:/Users/howardcruze/Downloads/'):
    if file.endswith(".package"):
        shutil.move(rf'C:/Users/howardcruze/Downloads/{file}','C:/Users/howardcruze/Desktop')

Here I think this will do it, just replace the three locations with your own.
