Re: Custom Content not showing up in The Sims 4

I've been looking everywhere for an answer to this and I cant find one either. I've spent the last 5 hours trying to download CC and get it to work.. I've only gotten 1 cc to work which was a pair of jeans for clothing. I don't have any cc in sub folders just all in mod folders so i dont know what the problem is

Does it show in the overview mods window at the beginning ?

Are you sure they are for Sims 4 and not Sims 2 or 3 ?

It's really hard to distinguish what's cc and what's from the game as the icons are mostly all the same.

MIne doesn't show at the beginning. I have been trying for ages 

Can you please help? My CC isn't showing up, and I'm using an 2014 version of the Sims 4 that doesn't have an option to enable mods. I unzipped a few of them and put all the packages into the mods folder, no subfolders. At startup, they are all listed, but none of them actually work in the character creator.

Why don't you update your game ?

me too! I swear i've WinRAR-extracted-drag-and-dropped-into mods folder all of the downloaded cc. 

I have a seperate Hair and shoes folder. I downloaded 2 hairs,put them in the folders,but they didn't show up.

i also have a Women's Clothing folder, which also contains 2.

except,one of the dresses in that folder passed all challenges (not literally though) and made it into CAS.

in my game options,i enabled cc,and they showed me the CC/script mods i have when i opened the game. 

So,all the cc i downloaded are in that list (trust me after opening and closing the game i made it important to see the list as soon as the game opens)

but in CAS,there's nothing. (except for that gown i'm so happy that got in) 

How to update my game?

Right click on the game in Origin and choose check for udpates

I turned it on but it's still not working

The option in your game options is turned on ?

Hello. I'm having a similar problem with The Sims 4. None of the above advice helps in any way.

1. I have removed all .package files from their folders, and all are now sitting directly in the mods folder.

2. I have enabled mods, CC and script-mods.

3. I have ensured both the game and Origin are fully up-to-date.

4. I have restarted the game numerous times after making change No. 1, to make sure that it wasn't because of a restart requirement.

None of these affected the total absence of my custom content at all.

Upon game launch, the Mods/CC pop-up screen does appear, and notifies me that the custom content I installed has been detected.

However, when I enter CAS, none of the custom content shows up.

I have no custom content that is not CAS related, so I cannot test for the same problems in Build mode; I do not have any mods installed either.

Please assist.

And you're sure they are all Sims 4 and not just recolors you need a mesh for ?

Have you tried one single cc ?

Try adding just a few back and see if it still works

It's possible that the update broke one of your mods/cc

Good to hear

I have the same problem. My cc is not showing up into the game even when it's in the mods folder. I listened to your advice, but where is the game options located and how do I get there??

Where's the game options??

In game press ESC -> options.

mine is enabled but still not working

You need to be much more precise than that.

Well, we need to ask new questions when you don't tell us what your problem is 🙂

"Same here"
Same as what? There are 14 pages of posts, id your problem exactly the same as the first one? Or which post?

We are other gamers, just like you, trying to help out. This post is from February 2015 and we cannot keep track of all the posts and such in this forum, if you want help you might wanna explain your problem clearly so that we (other normal people who are trying to be nice helping you with your game during or own personal time) can understand your issue.

Different things are wrong for different players, if you read every post you can see that some people have had their issue sorted out, if that did not work for you we need more info about your problem.

So, your mods don't show up even if they are in the folder and they're activated in game? Is this a new issue or have they never worked? Or what is your personal issue? 🙂

A common newer problem with this is that your game syncs to Onedrive/iCloud instead of your normal documents folder, would that be an issue for you?

ok so i know it is for the sims 4 because i have seen other people using this for there sims4
