How can I get my cc back in my The sims 4 game?

@Jenn291 I'm not 100% sure for a Mac but I don't think moving your Mods folder to your desktop should cause any major problems. Even if you launch the game I think it will just generate a new, empty Mods folder and you should be able to put your CC back into that new folder after you have checked for updated versions.

Whenever there is a new game patch release I hold off on installing the patch until after I remove the contents of my Mods folder to a temp storage folder on an external drive (I disable automatic game updates in my Origin settings). I don't move the Mods folder itself or the Resource.cfg file inside of it. I also make backup copies of my Saves and Tray folders, just in case. Then I let the patch install. After it has finished I play a no-mod/no-CC test save to make sure everything has downloaded correctly and my game is working fine, not missing any content, etc. Next I check for updates on my mods. There are many mods that require updating after the June 3 game patch. Here is a mod tracker site I use to check for updates:

Scroll down to where you see Main Tracker / A - Z and see if you can find your mods in there. The tracker often provides links to where you can download an updated version or it will show if an older version of a mod is still compatible with the latest game patch. Most mod creators will provide instructions on their web-page on how to install updates to their mods.

CC items usually do not become obsolete as often as mods but it can happen. I think a lot of default replacement eyes for CAS were affected by the game patch but updated versions are available. Generally, CC build/buy items seem to become obsolete more often than CC items for CAS. Here is site you can use to find out which CC items have been affected by the latest game patch:

After you have downloaded updated versions of your mods and CC, or verified that your current versions are compatible with the latest game patch, you can start putting them back in your game. You can try adding your CC first as they are less likely to have been made obsolete by a game patch. If you have a lot of files you can try the 50/50 method where you add half of your CC, then check your game on a test save and if everything looks good you can add the other half and check again. I usually put my updated mods back in only one at a time for big mods like MCCC, or only a few at a time for smaller tuning mods. I always check everything on a test save, I do not load my regular game saves until after I have tested that everything works.

Anyhow sorry for the super long reply. It might sound like a lot of work but I do this every time there is a new game patch so it's kind of like habit now and it's no big deal to me. Let us know if you have any questions on any of this.

I hope this helps & good luck on the school stuff :D
