Re: Fairy mod isn't working. Please help!

@Stephanie4lee  It sounds like the mod may be incompatible with your patch level.  In that case, you'll need to either find an updated version or wait for the creator to make one before you can use it.

If you want to check whether this mod does in fact work in your game, you can test it in a clean folder.  Drag your entire TS4 game folder out of Documents and launch the game, and a clean folder will spawn with no content.  Place only this one mod in the clean folder, check off the boxes for script mods and custom content again, and load a new save.  If the mod works, then there's a problem in your old game folder, but you can move your saves and other content out of it and into your new one.

If the mod doesn't work even in a clean folder, then it's probably broken or hasn't been updated.  The place to ask for help or updates is then the site that hosts the mod creator's work.

    @Stephanie4lee  Your patch level refers to the latest update (patch) that you've installed for the game.  If your game is fully patched—i.e. you've updated through Origin since the latest patch was released in August—then your mods need to be compatible with this update too.  Any decent mod creator will include notes about updates on the mod's page, either mentioning a newer version released to account for the new changes in the game code or stating that the mod still works with a fully updated game.  If the fairy mod you want to use doesn't have this documentation, then it probably isn't compatible with a fully updated game.

    when you go to download the fairies mod, it downloads as a single file and not a zip. It doesnt show up in game and the download file has nothing with it.

    The Fairies Mod at MTS has not been updated in over a year and does not appear to be compatible with the latest game patch. It's generally not a good idea to use obsolete mods like this because they likely will not work as intended and can cause problems with your game or even ruin a game save.
