- Maybe repair the game?
(Sorry for my bad english! :s) - Do you have them nested in folders? If so, you might need to rewrite your Resource.cfg to see them.

Ugh, so frustrating... the same thing is happening to me, but when I try to repair game the option isn't available. So I just cut/pasted my Mods folder contents to a folder on my desktop, restarted the game and quit it, then copied/pasted the contents of the desktop Mods folder back into its place and nada. Actually my mods stopped working a long time ago, so long I can't even remember when but I didn't care too much then - I do now though, I've got all these lovely new hair styles and things that I want to try!
I don't know what to do!
Hello @e01000101 .
Go to game options and check that the " enable custom content and mods" button is ticked, which is found in :
Options | Other | Enable Custom Content and Mods. If it isn't ticked, do that.Also check that the script mods allowed button is ticked as well. Exit the game. Then go back into the game again and see if your cc is there."e01000101;14874882" wrote:
Thanks for your response, I've tried that but nothing. And actually, I can't even see those buttons any more (since buying Get Together a LOT of stuff is missing from my display and I don't know what's what any more) - ffs. Apparently I have to "be around for a little while longer" to post pictures or links.
With your missing items, do you have empty text boxes? If you do, try doing the solution in this link and see if that helps

If you are missing the "enable cc /mods " button, your game may not be up to date. Try right clicking the sims 4 picture in origin and click " check for updates".
If you are uptodate and the button isn't there, go to your sims 4 folder and move the options.ini or options file to the desktop. Start the game, then go to game options and see if the button is there then."luthienrising;13739054" wrote:

Hello
The post was written before there was a patch update, and a new type of resource.cfg file was created. The new resource.cfg allowed for further subfolders.
If you move your mods folder to the desktop, then launch the game, a new mods folder will be generated and have the latest type of resource.cfg file. You can then transfer your cc/mods from the old mods folder into the newly generated mods folder"cairo123;15597450" wrote:
I have done all of these put together and it's still not working. Only about 15 out of 135 of my mods show up in my game. I am so frustrated. I've spent hours downloading mods just to find out they don't work in my game.
Hello @cairo123
Try resetting your sims 4 folder and see if that helps. To do that, move your sims 4 folder ( that is in Documents -Electronic Arts - then the sims 4 folder is there ) to the desktop. Then start the game, and a new sims 4 folder will be generated. Exit the game and then add back the "options.ini" or "options " file and the "saves" , "screenshots" "tray" and "custom music "folders from the desktop sims 4 folder to the new sims 4 folder, replacing the new generated file/ folders with the old file/folders that have the same name.
Don't put back the old mods folder. Instead, place your cc/mods into the newly generated mods folder. Then test to see if that helps."LeimaLocca94;c-16241249" wrote:
Listen y’all,
I’ve tried 20 billion ways. I’ve enabled my mods, I’ve copied and pasted from one place to another, I’ve compressed and de compressed. I’ve started to play and exited the game to re enter and see if they show, but nothing. What do I do? NONE of my mods are showing up in my game. Please help.
Hello
Do you use One Drive? If you do it could be causing this issue, Try seeing if there is a mods folder in One Drive . The game may be using that mods folder instead. One Drive can cause issues, It would be best to unsync One Drive and Sims 4.
If you don’t use One Drive, try using the search bar on your computer , and search to see if there may be another mods folder on your computer that the game is using instead of the one directly in the sims 4 folder.
Some simmers have found that a mods folder had been incorrectly generated in their custom music folder. Check all the folders there as well."mimithestar13;c-16323647" wrote:
I have tried everything for my mods to work again and nothing is WORKING origin will not generate a new mods folder for me and I am getting frustrated HELP PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hello @mimithestar13
I am sorry that you are having these issues. Try doing what I suggested in the above post and see if there is another mods folder somewhere else on your computer that the game is using instead of the correct one in Documents-Electronic Arts -Sims 4 folder

I have dug through all my files and another mods folder was not generated
Hello
Do you use One Drive or Google Drive? If you do, has a mods folder perhaps been generated there?
