Sorry I wasn't here to answer you at first. Manually created new folders is the way to go for people for whom the game patches didn't solve this issue.
Okay. So its a confirmed game bug then sounds like. Peachy. Soo its getting worse. At first it was just my CC folder. I was able to create a new CC folder, and move everything into it. Easy and simple. But now. Its also affecting other folders, My Non-Script Folders, folders for specific packs, my Furniture CC and some others.
I have attempted to create new folders and move those contents, but the game won't let them go. Even after turning off the game, exiting and closing the EA App, and closing EA Background Service.
Do we have an idea of what might be happening by chance. I'm attempting to prepare to tomorrow's (May 12) updates, and this is really frustrating. lol
UPDATE:
Signing out of whatever active computer profile you're using immediately releases the "Mod bug file lock" I'm sure it will return as soon as I start the game, but for backup purposes, Its a quick fix.
I'm just shocked i didn't hear about this until now. I suspect its because so few Simmers actually move their Mods folders out of TS4 folder before updating their game, which I always do with no exceptions, due to previous loss of the contents within various folders.
It's a game bug that affected LOTS of users a while ago but was fixed by a patch for MOST people. I don't know why it lingers for a few other people.
