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 female CAS items were showing up and I received a message of 'Items removed'. No CC or EA clothes however upon trying many many things e.g starting new files, ending up deleting all my CC, checking for mods enabled. All I had to do was remove the ''Feminine'' tag at the very top, and everything appeared, CC included. Obviously some of my CC caused this to be an issue but it's too big of one to deal with. Anyway, for people who have done everything & found nothing, try deleting the tag at the top of the CAS menu :)


    Hello
    It is good that removing the filters helped to make the items appear :) It is kind of you to post what helped to fix the issue in your game :)

    I've been having the same problem for a while now, and im unsure how to fix it, certain mods in the game will show up but not all, i took out all my mods and left only 2 in my mods folder. I have script mods turned on. I'm unsure how to fix the problem


    Hello @princesuga
    Try removing all the filters in CAS and see if that helps the cc to appear.

    Move your mods folder to the desktop. Start the game , and a new mods folder will be generated. Exit the game. Then put your mods/CC from the desktop mods folder back into the newly generated mods folder in the sims 4 folder and see if the cc appears then.

    Make sure that the cc is sims 4 files and not sims 2 or 3 cc files.

    If the issues remain, try going back to the cc sites where you downloaded them from and see if there has been updated versions of them released or if other simmers are also having issues with the cc.

    I was playing the sims 4 on wednesday night. My mods and cc were functioning properly. When I attempted to play the sims the next day, my game had reset as if I as playing for the first time (I am using the PC version downloaded from origin). It shows that I've logged 125 hours in game, however, all of my saved files were gone. I attempted to start a new file, but my cc isn't showing up in CAS. My game is up to date, all my files have been upzipped and placed in my mods folder in sub-folders. I have enabled cc and script mods in game options. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling the game. I have a resource.cfg file. I have removed my mods folder and replaced it. The game doesn't even register my cc. There is no cc showing up when I click the view custom content button in game options. I have repaired my game and checked for updates. The cc is all working and was usable 2 days ago. What's going on with my game?


    Hello @nattygirl13 .
    Are your save game files still in your documents -electronic arts -sims 4 -saves folder?

    The autosave file may be causing issues. Go to your save folder in Documents -Electronic Arts-Sims 4 folder and move the slot_00000001.save file. to your desktop. That is the autosave file. Then launch the game. Go to the load button ( the one with the floppy disk image) in the main screen in the game, and see if you can load one of your game files. If you can, then play the game and see if it is working okay.

    If the load button isn't there, then start a new game and play for a little while. Then save the game. Come completely out of the game. Go back in again, go to the load button and try to see if the save game files are there then,

    If the issue remains and your save games are still not showing, try rolling back your saved games to an earlier vesion.
    These links explain how to do that.

    Hello nattygirl13 If you are able to get back your missing save games, then test to see if your cc is appearing then. If you still have issues with it not appearing,try resetting your sims 4 folder and see if that helps. 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 the cc appears then,

    I followed the instructions you gave. I wasn't able to retrieve my older save files and my cc and mods are still not available.


    Hello
    Are the older save files still in your saves folder? Or are they not there? If they are there, did you try rolling them back to an earlier version?

    With your cc and mods, try downloading a new cc item and see if that appears in your game.
    Try also checking again that the enable cc /mods option is ticked in game options. Sometimes the game resets the options.

    If your cc are in subfolders, try testing with them out of folder, just placed directly into the Mods folder.

    If the issues remain, try going to documents -electronic arts -sims 4 folder and move your options.ini or options file to your desktop. Start the game and go to game options. Enable cc/mods and script mods. Then exit the game. Go back into the game and see if your cc /mods appears.

    the cc I download doesn't show up when I open the Mods folder to see what cc is working it doesn't show up at all but it is in the mods folder and in no compressed folders! please help


    Hello @Luvlibubs123 .
    There is a feature that when there is a game update, mods/cc are disabled. This link explains about it,
    http://help.ea.com/article/mods-and-the-sims-4-game-updates

    Go to game options and 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 the cc appears then .

    Hello! Sorry if this isn't the proper place to post this.

    I seem to be having troubles where some of my CC isn't showing up for my aliens in CAS, specifically makeup. It shows up just fine for my humans, but hasn't been showing up for my aliens (some I downloaded just for my aliens to wear D: ).

    I've been trying to find a solution and have tried updating and repairing my game, and went into Sims4Studio to see if everything was checked (which it was).

    Has anyone else been having this problem? Is there a solution?

    Thanks so much for your time. ❤


    Hello :)
    Could you please post the name of the cc ? We can then look at information about the cc on the download page and try to help you.
    You can't use skin details for aliens in CAS.

    Of course, I can send you right to the download pages. :)

    (can't post direct links, so just replace the 'DOT's, of course ; ) )

    They all say they're enabled for aliens, and the last CC stuff pack is very alien, so I just don't know.

    And just to mention, with the alien stuff pack, everything else shows up for the aliens, just not the makeup.

    (How I wish aliens could use the skin details, so many would have freckles in my game >u>)
