CC Not showing up in CAS

Hi everyone, I have downloaded multiple .package files from many different sources, such as TSR. This CC is up-to-date with my TS4 version, and when I download them, they are already unzipped (obviously), and I go to Documents < Electronic Arts < The Sims 4 < Mods. Originally, I did not have a Packages folder in there. I have the Resource.cfg file in there. And in case that was the error, I deleted it, and restarted TS4 to allow a new Resource.cfg to be made. I have also tried deleting it and downloading a Resource.cfg file from the web (1 KB). I began putting all of my CC in the Mods folder, with TS4 not open. In TS4 I have mods checked, and when I open it I get the box that shows all of the mods running, where it says Maxis does not support mods bla bla bla. But anyways, I have a list of all my mods in there. Though not one CC item shows up in CAS/game. I have looked *everywhere* and I have many CC files, so I would have noticed at least one. They aren't showing up in the game but they are being recognized. I have also tried adding a Packages folder to the Mods folder and putting my CC in there, and a due the same results.

    None of my cc is showing up and i have .package at the end, what weird is that i move my mods folder to my desktop and a new one isnt regenerated


    Hello @_ferreira04
    Move your mods folder back to the sims 4 folder.
    Then launch the game, and go to game options. Check that the " enable custom content and mods" button is ticked, which is found in :
    Options | Other | Enable Custom Content and Mods. If it isn't ticked, do that.Also check that the script mods allowed button is ticked as well. Exit the game. Then go back into the game again and see if your cc appear.


    They are ticked in and my cc still is not showing, i have uninstalled it anr re installed, as well as repaired th game in Origin


    Hello.
    Are they CAS items? If they are, try unticking all the filters in CAS and see if they then appear.
    The cc may have been made before the unisex patch was released and the cc creator may need to update the cc to work with the patch. Sims 4 studio tool has a batch fix to update the cc to work with the patch. This link explains

    I unfiltered and still had the same problem, it sweird my CAS items once showed up now they dont


    When the CAS items showed up, was it before or after the patch? Simmers have had issues with cc showing up since the patch.
    Try going back to the cc sites where you downloaded the cc from and see if there have been updated versions released since the patch.


    Still, they all say they work but none of them show up. i once updated my game with all my cc still in the folder, could that have caused this?


    Hello.
    It shouldn't have caused an issue.
    Other simmers have found that resetting the sims 4 folder helps with similar issues. To do that, move your sims 4 folder ( that is in Documents -Electronic Arts - then the sims 4 folder is there ) to the desktop. Then start the game, and a new sims 4 folder will be generated. Exit the game and then add back the "options.ini" file and the "saves" , "screenshots" "tray" "custom music "folders from the desktop sims 4 folder to the new sims 4 folder, replacing the new generated file/ folders with the old file/folders.
    Don't put back the old mods folder. Instead, place your cc/mods into the newly generated mods folder. Then test to see if that helps.

    I am not sure why a new mods folder isn't regenerating.
    Try doing this.
    Go to this link thread, and half way down the page there will a picture of a drive with an arrow on it . Press that and download the file.That is a resource.cfg file that you can download and place in your mods folder. Move the resource.cfg file that is already in your mods folder to the desktop. Then take the file out of this zipped file from the link site and place it into the mods folder.

    Then place the mods folder back into the sims 4 folder and test the game .

    Tried that too and nothing happened


    I am just checking that you have taken the files out of the zipped folders?

    Also check that the files are sims 4 not sims 2 or 3.

    Try using the batch fix at Sims 4 studio and see if that helps the issue.

    Just add a few cc items at a time and test to see if they appear in the game.

    I did that and it didnt work. I'll try again.


    Hello
    Are any cc appearing or are none showing?

    Try checking to make sure that you are updated to the latest game patch.To do that, right click the sims 4 picture in origin and click " check for updates".

    Make sure that there isn't two resource.cfg files in the mods folder.

    Check that there are no sims 3 or sims 2 cc files in the mods folder.
