Sims 2 mods and CC won't show up (Legacy edition)

Question

I decided to start adding cc and mods to my sims 2 after a while of playing base game and they're just not working? I've created a Downloads folder (typed exactly) and enabled mods through the settings but they still don't seem to be working :( I've enabled and disabled multiple times and even redownloaded the game, but I don't even get the notification wall that shows you the cc and mods you have downloaded when the game first starts up. I've also noticed I'm not the only person experiencing this, but I haven't seen any actual solutions outside of the ones I've tried. Some people have said their mods and cc work just fine, so I'm not understanding why I'm having this certain problem. Any help or suggestions please? :) I really enjoyed modding and using cc in the sims 4, but I enjoy the sims 2 a lot more! Maybe it has something to do with it being the 25th anniversary re-release?&nbsp;

That is a mystery I have as well!! I don't use mods and the majority of the things I download show up, but sometimes it is a puzzle why some things work and others do not. I have done everything I can think of to check why things aren't showing up.

Google how to get the Ikea stuff pack properly installed in your Legacy game. It needs Windows Registry entries as well as the Stuff Pack. I'd supply a link, but this is the EA forum. 🤫

Did you previously have all packs when the CC and mods worked? For some people the issue is that IKEA is missing and the mods and CC they can't see were made for UC or all of the disks.

Thats the thing, even IKEA stuff won't show up (it was the first thing I tried to add into my game). No downloads for add ons appear to be working in general so I can't even use IKEA because my game won't register it for some reason. I'm fine playing base game, so it isn't that big of a deal, but I know some people's mods and CC have worked without restoring IKEA.&nbsp;

I'm sorry that's not the fix. Hopefully someone will be able to help.
