Re: Custom Content Sims 4 Mac

@Sophieeeegrace  Please remove the Mods folder that you created.  Then load the game and enable both script mods and custom content in the game options.  This should create the correct Mods folder.  If it doesn't, move your entire Sims 4 folder out of Documents\Electronic Arts and onto your desktop, then launch the game to create a new Sims 4 folder.  Enable mods and cc, then quit, and you can move your existing content to the new folder.

    @puzzlezaddict Hello.. I know that these replies are old but I need help! My cc isn't showing up in my sims game, I deleted it & got it back because I thought that was the issue but obviously not. I enabled the "custom content"/"script mods" as well but it's still not showing up.. I'm new to this by the way. :/

    @r0ttengrl  Does your computer run Windows or macOS?  Do your saves show up, or are they missing too?  Please also let me know whether you've installed the game on or moved your user data to an external hard drive or USB stick.

    @r0ttengrl  I mean save games, as in, the progressed world(s) you play in.  And I meant where did you install the game, as in, is it on your computer's internal hard drive, or an external device of some kind?

    @r0ttengrl  Have you played the game before on this computer, and saved your progress, and if you have, can you load that save (click Load Game) on the Main Menu?

    Please also find the Mods folder where you've added your custom content, right-click (or hold down the crtl key and click) on the folder, and select Get Info.  At the top of the pop-up is a section titled Where.  Please post that info here.  You can write [username] instead of your actual username if you want, but leave the rest of the information intact.

    @puzzlezaddict Yes I've played the game on this computer before.. I just saved my progress & clicked the load game option. I also just got done doing what you told me to do for my mods folder but how do I post the info here? :/

    @r0ttengrl  Highlight the information, hit cmd-C to copy, then cmd-V to paste into a reply.

    Please also load the game to the Main Menu, click Load Game, and then hover over the folder icon below the other save information (save name, date last played, etc.).  You should see the file location for that save.  I'd like to see that file path too, although you'll need to type it out or post a screenshot.

    @r0ttengrl  And what about your saves?  The point is, you know the game loads a save you create, so it's important to compare the file path for your saves to the file path for your Mods folder.

    Oops, sorry, I didn't see your post before I posted as well.  Try downloading one new custom content item, place it in the Mods folder you're looking at, but don't add anything else.

    @puzzlezaddict You just said copy & paste the first part, and then you said you wanted to see the file near the "load game" option.

    @puzzlezaddict Ooh, I forgot to mention that a couple of days ago I was downloading cc & I accidentally deleted my "resource.cfg" file but I got it back from this website.. I'll have to find it. Do you think that could also be the cause to why my cc isn't showing up in game? Maybe the file isn't good? :/

    @r0ttengrl  Yes, that could absolutely be it.  Let the game generate a new resource.cfg on its own: move the Mods folder to the desktop, load the game to the Main Menu, and quit.  If that doesn't create a new Mods folder (with a resource.cfg inside), load the game, disable mods, quit, then reload and reenable them.

    @r0ttengrl  Delete the one you downloaded, and let the game make a fresh one.  There's no point in having more than one.
