why isn't my new cc showing up is cas?
I went on a cc spree about two days ago while my game (Sims 4) was updating. When it finished updating, I went in the game, enabled mods, then left the game, made sure all my new downloaded cc was in...

@Caiyah14 I have a few more questions if that's ok, just to help clarify things. Are you playing the standard version of Sims 4 or the Legacy Edition? Does any of your old CC show up in your game, as in the old stuff works but the new stuff doesn't?
I don't think that Sims 4 will look at a Mods folder on your Desktop. That's where people often move their Mods folder for troubleshooting when things aren't working right. If you had moved it there at some point in the past I think the game would have created a new empty Mods folder in your Documents folder. Were you able to determine which user folder your game is using? If you go in your Game Options and look at the Screen Capture tab you'll see the Location Path for Video Capture. Here is how mine looks:
I know the writing is tiny but you can see my game is using the Sims 4 folder in my Documents folder. Can you attach a screen capture of yours or just copy the complete location path and paste it in a reply?
The location path for Video Capture is: C:\Users\User\Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 4 Legacy Edition\Recorded Videos\
The location path for Memory/Picture Capture is: C:\Users\User\Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 4 Legacy Edition\Screenshots\
@Caiyah14 It looks like the file path for your user folder is set up for the Legacy Edition of Sims 4 rather than the standard version. When you launch the game you'll see the version number way down at the bottom of the main menu page. It will look something like this:
Don't worry about the first 3 sets of numbers, this is an old screen-shot and they have changed since then, it's only the last four numbers we need to look at here. The last 4 numbers should be either 1020 or 1520 and this will tell you which version you are using.
1020 = PC standard version
1520 = PC Legacy EditionWhen you look at the file path for the Mods folder you are trying to put new CC into is it:
Documents > Electronic Arts > The Sims 4 > Mods
Or is it?
Documents > Electronic Arts > The Sims 4 Legacy Edition > Mods
It seems like I remember reading about an issue like this a little while back-- I'll do a little more research and update this thread if I can find it. I might just be remembering wrong though.
@Caiyah14 If your Version number ends in 1520 there is one other thing you can check super quick:
While logged in Origin:
- Click on My Game Library
- Right click on the Sims 4 game tile
- Select Game Properties from the pop-up menu
- Click on Advanced Launch Options in the new windowIn the window labeled "When launching this game" does it give you the option for "The Sims 4 64 Bit"? Click on the little down-arrow all the way to the right to see all of your options.
