Master Controller Mod not showing up in game

So I didn't see a section dedicated to help with mods for Sims 3 like for Sims 4, so I figured I would post this here.

I used to have Nraas' mater controller mod a while back, but I ended up having to do a complete uninstall and reinstall of everything because IP was causing too much lag for my taste. Only point to this tidbit being, it used to work for me just fine. Anyway, I reinstalled all the expansion packs and began re-installing some mods, and the only problem I am having is that master controller won't show up in my game.

I know it isn't an installation problem because all of the mods I installed show up both in the notification pop-up at the main menu upon booting up (including master controller), and the rest of the mods are working fine in-game (except master controller).

I have the latest patches (1.67) and everything is up to date. I have the correct patches for the mod versions (Phase 12). Every mod I have is from Nraas, so I don't think it is a problem with conflicting mods. I have no CC. I have tried all of the usual uninstall, reinstall, delete all cache files, restart, etc. obvious fixes, but it still isn't working.

I use a Macbook - OS X Yosemite 10.10.1. All of my games are purchased through Origin.

    The website where you actually got our mods would have been a good place to ask for help, but let's see what we can do here. :D

    1 - What is the exact path of your Mods/Packages folder?

    2 - Please confirm that you have v132 of the MC Base mod and not one of the optional add-ons without the base and that you have unzipped it before placing it into Packages.
    http://nraas.wikispaces.com/MasterController+Phase+Twelve

    3 - You mentioned that MC does show on the list of mods installed that pops up when starting. But in-game nothing -- just to confirm, have you tried clicking on City Hall when looking for an MC menu?

    4 - Have you tried the Clean Folder test? That is, temporarily drag your entire game folder to the Desktop (I assume it's in Documents now), launch the game to let it build a new one, redo your Framework, place the Resource.cfg file in Mods again, and put the MC base mod only into Packages -- perhaps together with NoIntro if you have that one. Startup a new game. Any better?

    Just fixed it myself.

    I have seen other people get help with very similar questions, so I didn't think it would be too crazy of an idea to ask.

    I knew everything was installed correctly and my files are all in the correct place so I looked at all the mods I had re-downloaded and saw that I had the "cupcake" mod, which I did not have the first time around when everything worked. I uninstalled cupcake, deleted all cache files, restarted, and it worked.

    Doesn't really make any sense, but if it works, it works.

    Well, that's odd. The only time I've ever heard of the Cupcake mod presenting a problem is when the player does not have Bakery store set that it works with. But I have heard of players on recent versions of the Mac OS having to clear caches and restart two or three times to get all of their mods recognized completely.

    In any event, glad you got the MC part sorted out. :)
