If you want to have Sub-folders in you mods folder make sure you have the file Resource.cfg.
And if you don't you can create one using Notepad++
And you would type everything like this
Priority 500
PackedFile *.package
PackedFile */*.package
PackedFile */*/*.package
PackedFile */*/*/*.package
PackedFile */*/*/*/*.package
PackedFile */*/*/*/*/*.package

and save the file name as this Resource.cfg
And make sure the file extension is .cfg and not .txt

or instead you can copy your mods folder to your desk top to make a copy and then delete the mods folder that is in your Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 4. Do not delete the copy you put on your desktop or you will lose all of your mods and custom content.

Forgot to mention after you delete the mods folder then run your game as normal and it will create the Resource.cfg. and then you can exit the game and copy all your custom content and mods back into the mods folder.. Before you do that you can create folders to keep things organized. But keep scripts and mods in the main folder and just put the custom content into folders

This this this. You don't want to go too deep into folders, otherwise you risk the game not being able to find it. I was experiencing that with a mod recently where the only reason it wasn't working was how many folders deep it is. Someone else mentioned keeping Script mods in the main folder, which is a great idea, but I have so many I think I'd lose those, too. Oops.

Hey, guys is it safe to put it in a subfolder on windows 10? Mine disappeared when I did it.

Subfolders are fine for CC. Some mods may not run if you put them in subfolders so I would suggest putting mods directly into the Mods folder.

If your content is disappearing do you have One Drive? One Drive creates duplicate game files and causes mass confusion. Try searching for the file you have created and see where it is actually located.

No I don't have one drive, but I'll just put it directly in the mods file.

Thx 4 trying to help. :)

Thanks for helping, but I found out why. My CC/Mods wasn't turned on in the game. THX!

What I've tried is copying and pasting a resource.cfg file into where my subfolders get super subby - e.g. mods -> "fan packs" -> "garden stuff" -> even more subfolders (CAS, BUILD etc). Resource files stop where the subfoldrs stop. seems to work so far?
