Re: Sims 4 aren't showing up in the game
Hi @Ndiaedwards the main reason, I think would be that throughout trying to 'fix' your game, you may have also 'loaded' your game without mods/cc, that would then 'strip' the cc from the 'current' loading game.. you could try an earlier save of the same game.
If you're missing Saved Games there's a good guide at Carls Sims 4 Guide also, you can go back to an earlier save & if you need to know how, go to Carls Sims 4 Guide for directions on doing that and salvage from an earlier time before moving.
also, here are some other tips re: managing your mods & cc
- Apart from culling your folders one by one, or the 50/50 method, to narrow down the broken cc or mod, that is all you can do, (restarting and checking your game each time) you'll simply need to find the broken mod/cc it and remove it
- Mods & cc are well known to cause various in-game issues please check for updates to them / where you found them; do this also > after any sims update or adding a game pack,
- Simsonic Weebly Mod Tracker has a list for people who use mods/cc; and updates on which ones are broken or now updated
- Also the EA Forums do a regular post for broken mods / cc, & maintained by LuthienRising.
- I also use Sims 4 Studio for batch fixes, as it solves a lot of problems in bulk (but not all.) It's also available for Mac. And is updated frequently, with pack relevant bug fixes.
After every patch or game update, this is a necessary process, to add your mods back to your game, folder by folder and starting it each time to test to see if it's ok to play. (nb: you should keep them separated for ease of checking, btw)
Also, if you are new to using cc/mods please check my post here on maintaining your game. as there is many tips including the 50/50 method and tools to help you fix your game and how to find the broken mod.
hope this helps,
