@demetriyus When you cut mods from the Sims folder to test mods, did you:
- *delete* the Mods folder? If so, find it in your Recycle bin
- *rename* the Mods folder? If so, there will be a renamed Mods folder in the same place as the new one; the renamed one is the "old" folder
- *copy* or *move* the Mods folder? If so, it will be in whichever location you put it. I generally advise people to drag the folder to their desktop, in which case that's where it should still be.
If you're using OneDrive, that program might have done something with your old Mods folder after you moved or renamed it, unfortunately.
@luthienrising I moved the mods folder to the desktop then i moved it back to the sims 4 folder (i didn't start the game in mean time) When I moved it back all my mods were gone
@demetriyus Okay. Could you please show me these things?
- Take a screenshot of the whole contents of the folder Documents > Electronic Arts > TheSims4
- Click on the Mods folder and take a screenshot of the inside of that folder (it doesn't have to include all of it)
- Start the game and follow these instructions to get the full filepath: https://sims4.crinrict.com/eng/2018/07/how-to-find-your-user-folder/
In a reply, copy that full filepath and use the paperclip below the typing area to attach the screenshots.
C:\Users\ASUS\Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 4\Recorded Videos\
C:\Users\ASUS\Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 4\Screenshots\
Hi @demetriyus You have at least one thing here that's a possible cause of your problem: You have your Sims content inside OneDrive. OneDrive has a very bad habit of "fixing" your Sims content for you. We recommend to everyone to get Sims 4 away from OneDrive. It can be complicated, so we provide support for that here: https://answers.ea.com/t5/Technical-Issues-PC/CURRENT-ISSUE-Sims-4-saves-user-content-disappearing-PC/td-p/12475370 If you find it hard to follow the instructions, you can get help in that thread.
Once you have Sims away from OneDrive, copying those folders showing on the left (Accessories, Clothing, gameplay) into the new Mods folder that in Electronic Arts > The Sims 4 should actually mean they stay there.
I advise also deleting all those last crash and last exception files, but I'd also like to see what's in the most recent last exception file before you delete it - the one from yesterday.
