How deep did you put the CC in. You cannot go past two folders deep. preferably just one level or the game will not find the CC.
Also you may want to delete the Localthumbnailcache as well. Any time you take in or out CC or mods you should do this and make sure you are not doing all this with Sims running.
okay thanks! ill try that!
im also not sure what you mean by levels. also didn't work.
In the mod folder... you have your mods.. then you can have another folder inside a mod folder like I have mine.
Example
Inside the mod folder you can put folders(level one) and name them, couches, chairs, hair etc.. but do not put another folder inside those folders you create then that would be the second level of folders in the mod folder. The game will not find them..
oh okay ill see if that's my issue.
@iheartanimaljam8 Just to be sure, can you double-check that you have mods and CC enabled in your Game Options?
Yep! been enabled since I downloaded ts4.
yeahh that isn't my issue.
@iheartanimaljam8 Are you on PC or Mac?
@iheartanimaljam8 Is it possible that your game is using a different Mods folder than the one you've been adding the .package files to?
Sometimes, especially after an update, the game will decide to start using a different user folder located on a cloud drive (i.e. OneDrive). If your game is using a Mods folder on the cloud it will not see any ,package files you have been adding in your Documents/Sims 4 Mods folder. Here's a link on how to find out which user folder your game is currently using:

Thanks! I'll look into it!
Still didn't work. plus every time I went to look at the photos they are in a different language so I can't understand that. I don't think I did anything wrong. Plus there isn't anything in my Onedrive folder. I don't know if there is anything in my game that has to do with the CC filter in CAS that doesn't make CC show up also. I don't know if I should download legacy edition to see if that fixes the problem or not but I guarantee that probably doesn't have to do with anything.
@iheartanimaljam8 The easiest way to find the file path for your user folder is to look in your Game Options / Screen Captures tab. If you look in the window where it says "Location Path" that is where your game is looking for your Sims 4 folders, i.e. Saves, Tray, Mods, etc. Here is what mine looks like:
Would you be willing to attach a screen capture of the file path to your Mods folder? It should look something like this:
Documents > Electronic Arts > The Sims 4 > Mods
If your game is using the correct file path and it still does not see your CC, you could try this: With your Sims 4 game turned off, move your entire Mods folder to your desktop and rename it Mods_Backup. After you are done there should be no Mods folder in your Sims 4 folder. Then delete the localthumbcache.package file from your Sims 4 folder. Then restart your game and it should create a new Mods folder that is completely empty except for a Resource.cfg file (it will also auto-generate a new localthumbcache.package file). Exit your game again and put a few CC items from your Mods_Backup into the new Mods folder and then restart your game with a New Game to see if it's working now. If it's working properly you can add the rest of your CC a few files at a time & test each one to make sure it is working properly.
