If it is, the files need to be in the tray folder, without any sub folders. If there is separate cc package files. they are placed in the mod folder. Go to game options and check that the " enable custom content and mods" button is ticked, which is found in :Options | Other | Enable Custom Content and Mods. If it isn't ticked, do that.Also check that the script mods allowed button is ticked as well. Exit the game. Then go back into the game again and see if the cc appears then .Also, go to the gallery, and in the advanced section of the filter select the option to " include custom content ".

Then click on the " recover game " button down the right hand side bottom of the screen,. Press on an earlier version of the save game from the menu that pops up. Then load that save game version and see if the issue remains

@rosemow AAAAA THANK YOU! Everything is fixed and I can continue with my game.

@rosemow whoops im back! After having success with what you suggested, the game is yet again acting up. Last night, I played my game for a while, and everything was fine. This morning, I downloaded some custom content, put it in the mods folder, and started my game. My game then only launched to the loading screen. I removed the recently downloaded cc, and it still didn't work. I looked up solutions to my issue, and it recommended uninstalling origin, so I did. It's back on my computer, but all my files are gone, again! I don't have an option to load a save file like last time. Everything is gone.

Are there no save files in your sims 4 saves folder ? If there isn't any there, and if you use One Drive, see if a backup copy of the saves folder is in Onedrive. Try doing what is the first suggestion in the link article.

@rosemow I don't use onedrive, unfortunately. I guess my files are gone forever. I've tried to download file recovery software but they're all super expensive. I guess I'll just have to start over :(

I am sorry that your save files are missing :( Try checking the recycling bin and see if they are there, Try doing a search on your computer for your " saves " folder in case a duplicate folder has been generated somewhere else on the computer.,

I am sorry to resurrect this post but i am finding the same problem. I have saved a friends sim all tray files were copied into the tray folder. CC into my cc folder that i have. I have opened up my game to see and in gallery i cannot find the new sims.
I have selected the Custom content to be view... Any ideas what i am doing wrong?

I am relatively new to this way of saving sims. I generally just get them in the gallery. Any advise would be appreciated

Hello @bebasim
There can’t be any sub folders in the tray folder. Put the tray files directly into the tray folder if you haven’t already done that.
