All script mods downloading with a question mark

It doesn't matter which script mod I download but the moment I unzip it the icon shows as a question mark.  None of these scripts are working!  Even my Resource in the mods folder shows the same thing.

 

  • All this means is that your computer doesn't know what icon to show with that filetype. It has nothing to do with what the game sees or whether the file works. 

    If you find it annoying, you can change your folder view options to one that doesn't show big icons.

    Did you unzipped the .package and .ts4script files ? If so, you should stop it. That’s how they’re supposed to be.
    Btw, that icon occurs cause you don’t have any software that can open it. And you don’t need to open it because The Sims 4 game will interpret it when launched.
    You just have to put the files in your mod folder, turn on the mods settings ingame and relaunch it if you didn’t already did.

    So just to be clear, the creator is telling you to unzip files that end .ts4script and .package? That isn't correct. Often creators zip up a folder containing multiple files for a Mod but files ending .ts4script and .package cannot be unzipped because they were never zipped/compressed in the first place. Your Resource.cfg file is behaving correctly, it sits in your Mods folder, you do not unzip it.

    Yes everything I've tried downloading says to unzip it.  I was able to open the Resource.cfg file with TextEdit

    Do the Mod creator's instructions explicitly tell you to unzip it?

    Right click on the Resource.cfg file and select TextEdit to open it with. Does it open?
