Re: My new mods folder won't let me get CC

I'm sorry I did not respond but if you want to know I have it fixed but I want to know if it's safe to download mods again and i want to know what I have to do to keep my game safe after all that happend

@BigmamaJudie  Are you the same poster as before, just under a different username?  If so, then yes, you can download and install new mods and custom content.  It's best to install just a little cc at a time, and one mod at a time, and test the game: if there's a problem, you'll know you need to remove whatever you just downloaded.

ok thanks and yes its the same poster

and one more question what do i do to make sure my game don't break agian

@SaphiraChrist  As long as you're using mods, there's a chance that your game will break.  If you want to be safe, you can set aside the Sims 4 user folder after each patch, as in, before you launch the game for the first time after the update.  Then you can test the mods and cc in a clean Sims 4 folder, and if everything looks fine, go ahead and put the old folder back.  That way, your existing folder won't be affected by any problems.

It's also a good idea to back up your saves periodically, just in case there's a problem with a mod, or even with the game itself, that's not immediately obvious.  You can delete the older backups when you make newer ones.

do you mean before i load my game just put my mods in like another folder for safe keeping

@BigmamaJudie  I actually meant the opposite: move the entire Sims 4 folder out of the way after a patch, load the game to create a clean folder, and put only your mods back so you can test them without affecting your saves.  But there's more than one way to approach this, so however you want to do it is fine.  Just keep in mind that mods often break after a patch.

Also make sure to back up saves just in case of crash.

how do i do that

@SaphiraChrist  Open Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 4, right-click on the saves folder, and select Copy.  Then right-click on your desktop and select Paste.  From there, you can move the folder wherever you want.  Elsewhere on your computer is okay, but better would be to store it on an external drive or USB stick, or upload it to a free filehosting service like Google Drive or Dropbox.  If you do upload the folder, zip it (right-click and select Compress) first.

Ok just so you know i have no mods just outfits/hairs and also i just put all my mods in another folder because the spa day update is tomrrow is that a good thing

@BigmamaJudie  Yes, that's a good thing, but you may want to make a spare copy of your saves as well, just in case.  You can copy the saves folder and paste it onto your desktop or anywhere else you want.
