My Sims 4 CC Won't show up!! Help please!
Hi, I've gone through quite a bit of trouble with sims 4. Firstly, it all started when I updated origin about a month ago, then everything in my sims progress disappeared. It was still in the folder but not in the game. I went to the live help for sims 4 on EA and the man literally messed everything up, so I gave up and deleted origin and uninstalled sims 4 off the computer. Now, I'm on my new game, all refreshed and such. now my game works fine, I created a new sim but NO cc will show up in the game. my folder is full of cc, but its not translating to the game. please help!
@heyhiheyfren There are two issues here. The first is that the game won't read any files on the desktop, so the Mods folder where you're adding your mods isn't being used by the game. The second issue is that if you have your computer set to automatically sync the contents of Documents with iCloud drive, your content may disappear from your internal hard drive, and the game won't be able to find it.
The way the system works is it keeps one copy locally as well until it thinks you're running out of internal storage, then it deletes the local copy and only uses the one in iCloud Drive. But Sims 4 doesn't look in iCloud, it only looks in the local version of Documents, so it won't find anything that only exists in cloud storage, and instead it'll spawn a new copy of the Sims 4 folder, with none of your existing content.
To avoid this issue, please first disable automatic syncing of Documents with cloud storage. Actually, first move the Mods folder on your desktop somewhere else (you can just drop it in Downloads) so it doesn't disappear. Then disable auto syncing of Documents and Desktop, as shown here:

Now start the game once, which will generate a new Mods folder in the local Documents > Electronic Arts > The Sims 4 folder. Move your custom content to that folder, enable cc and script mods, and it should all show up. Let me know if it doesn't.
By the way, you can leave iCloud enabled overall if you want and manually sync any folders you'd like to back up. The issue is the auto syncing, not having iCloud running at all.
