Hello so i'm new to sims, i just downloaded it and i know you can download extra hair, clothing etc. so i did. Theyre on the Downloads > Electronic Arts > Sims 4 > Mods, but when i open Sims 4 they're not there? I downloaded a zip file opener but i downloaded clothes and hair from thesimsresource.com
If the mods or CC aren't showing in game, make sure you have mods and cc turned on in the game options.
Load a game save, load the game options > other to make sure both enable Custom Content and Mods and Script Mods Allowed are checked.
Mods get disabled with each game patch and need to be turned back on.
However, if that doesn't help try this -
Move your mods folder to the desktop and delete the localthumbcache.package from the Sims 4 folder. This helps clear up some game glitches and will help to make sure there isn't any issues with any mods or cc. Like mods/cc that are outdated or no longer in game.
How to Move the Mods Folder to Desktop:
[Go to C:\Users\Username\Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 4 and click on the Mods folder, select Cut and paste it to the desktop for testing purposes.]
If the game runs well without the mods folder. This most likely means that it is outdated mod or cc. This can happen as we get updates for the game, some mods and custom content become outdated. You'll need to to go through your mods folder to find what needs to be replaced or deleted.

They should instead be in Documents > Electronic Arts > Sims 4 > Mods
