Sims 4 CC/ please help me😭😭🙏🏾

@jpkarlsenoh okay im listening but what is localthumbcache.package? i dont have that file anywhere. and would it be best to delete all the mods that did make it into the game? how do i do that?

You should be able to find the localthumbcache.package in your game folder, the same place you find your Mods folder. Its a package file not a folder. If you are using a Mac it should be similar to the attached image. 

Removing Mods is simple enough, simply drag your mods folder into the trash or if you want to you can remove them one by one from the folder itself. You can also try removing half of your CC/Mods at a time (keep them in a separate folder) and run your game, if all the CC in that half shows up then switch to the other half of it. Keep halving and running your game until you can pinpoint which items are causing you problems. It will take awhile but it will ultimately allow you remove any problematic CC/Mods.

I would also check to see if you have all the meshes downloaded. Many times items don't show up in game because they are recolors and require you to download the original item for it to work. Another thing you might consider doing is removing the Mods you don't currently want to play with and keep them in a separate folder until you need them. I agree with @jpkarlsen though, having that many items in you mod folder will make it very difficult to troubleshoot/run your game.

One last thing, many Mods and CC items come in .zip or .rar files, make sure you expanded all of your files! It can be easy to overlook this simple step but your items won't show up if you don't expand them!

@jpkarlsen @mgm230 oh yeah yeah i see it, its deleted. perfect, so i did test a mod out and it showed up in game. I will continue to slowly put the mods in the folder and if some may not work I will most likely make another miraculous return. Thank you for your help, you guys are life savers.

My mods still won’t show up in game, i was advised to take it slow and that doing so it worked for like 1 minute than went right back to not working anymore. There is one thing: I downloaded something from a site and after the mod finished downloading the file said “Virus detected” I didn’t know what that was supposed to be telling me but I reset my laptop asap anyways. Once turned back on it ran smoothly like nothing ever happened. Other than that I seriously don’t have a clue what I could be doing wrong. 🤔

The virus message that you got came from your antivirus and means that what you thought was a piece of CC was in fact an executable file containing a virus. Luckily your antivirus caught it. If you have more files from the same site you should delete them to be sure you don't get a virus.

As I wrote earlier when a piece of CC does not show up in game go back to the site you got it from and read the instructions carefully including how to extract it is it came as a packed file (7z, zip or rar).
