The CC is in the correct files, still not working. What do I do?
@Splotchish Please take a screenshot or two of the folder(s) where you've placed your custom content. Be sure to include the address bar, above the list of files and folders.
Okay. sorry for not replying, I was preoccupied. Here is the screenshot.
@Splotchish Sims 3 CC that comes in .package format is usually installed into The Sims 3\Mods\Packages\. Only .Sims3Pack files are placed into the Downloads folder, and then installed through The Sims 3 Launcher.
@Splotchish The first file in your screenshot is a .rar file, a type of compressed file. To extract it, you'll need a tool like 7-Zip (free). The second one is a .package file, and .package files need to be installed like mods. Here's a guide:

Hi! I’m having the same issue. I don’t understand what is going on with my sims 3 and it’s really getting on my nerves. I deleted all of the cache and I opened up the game again and I don’t see any of my custom content popping up. Can someone please help, immediately?
1. Is your Mods folder located in Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 3\ ?
2. Does it have these items inside: 2 folders (Overrides and Packages), and 1 file (Resource.cfg)?
3. If your mods are in .package format, they are usually installed into the Packages folder. If they are .Sims3Pack format (usually Custom Content), they are placed into Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 3\Downloads\ and installed through the launcher.
Yes I am i in the right location. When I go to my mods folder the only thing in there is packages, I don’t see resource.cfg nor do I see overrides like I used to.
@taenbro You don't need an Overrides folder, unless you download a mod that's specifically supposed to be placed there, but you do need a resource.cfg. You can get one in the instructions for installing mods on the NRaas site or at Mod the Sims. Make sure to extract it—it downloads as a .zip—before placing it in the Mods folder.
Be sure to delete the five cache files (again) when you're done:
CASPartCache.package
compositorCache.package
scriptCache.packaage
simCompositorCache.package
socialCache.package
Okay, I will do these steps that you both have told me to do and I will be back.
Thank you so much!! I finally have the resource.cfg
