Cc and mods showing at startup but not in game or CAS

Hey guys. I’ve been playing sims 4 for a while and I’ve been using cc and mods regularly for game play. About 6 months or so ago, my mods and cc stopped showing up in game. I’m playing legacy addition, I’m on an iMac so I don’t think there’s another option. It had been working fine before that but now I can’t get it working and it’s ruining game play. I’ve done everything I could find online and I’ve messaged EA and nothing has worked. I was hoping someone on here could help. I see the cc and mods at startup but nothing after.

yes, I’ve uninstalled and reinstalled 4 times, that hasn’t worked

I have cc, mods, and script mods on. And I have toggled them on and off and that hasn’t worked. I repaired the game in origin. And I deleted origin, and the sims, and redownloaded it all from scratch. Nothing is working

please help.

  • @Powelli4IP  Have you downloaded mods and custom content specifically compatible with the Legacy Edition?  If not, that may be why your content isn't working.

    Before it stopped working, I would go to any sims mods / cc creators and sites and they all always worked. I don’t even know where I would find some specifically made for legacy addition. But they had all been working fine before.

    @Powelli4IP  If the creators updated the content as the game itself was being updated, then the newer versions of those mods and cc items could have broken more recently.  For example, all existing cc beds broke with the High School Years patch, and an updated bed might not work at all with the Legacy Edition.

    As for where to get mods and cc, some creators have left up their LE-compatible content, but not all.  The download pages should specifically say they're compatible with the LE, or you're taking a chance that it might not work.

    And just to make sure there's nothing else going on, are you saying that all your content shows up on the list you see when you load the game, but none of it works?  If you're also not seeing some content listed at all, that could be a different issue.

    Content shows on the startup page, all of it does. Just none of it has showed up in game.

    @Powelli4IP  Then my guess would be that your content is not fully compatible with the Legacy Edition.  But to test, try downloading a mod like MCCC that has a specific LE version and see whether it works.  If it doesn't, move the entire Sims 4 folder out of Documents > Electronic Arts and onto your desktop, start the game to create a new folder, enable mods and cc, quit, add the one mod to the new folder, and see whether it works in-game.
