@cuppicake&nbsp;What does your resource.cfg file look like?&nbsp; And do you have your CC in subfolders?&nbsp; It sounds like your CC may be in subfolders and the game is not reading it because it is too deep in the folder hierarchy.&nbsp; My file looks like this and all my CC shows up in the game.&nbsp; My game will read subfolders up to 5 deep but I have most of mine only 2 or 3 subfolders deeps.&nbsp; So, you might want to modify yours if it does not go deep enough.&nbsp;&nbsp;Priority 500PackedFile *.packagePackedFile */*.packagePackedFile */*/*.packagePackedFile */*/*/*.packagePackedFile */*/*/*/*.packagePackedFile */*/*/*/*/*.packageHope this helps.

@cuppicake&nbsp;It sounds like you created a folder yourself and thought that adding a resource.cfg file to it would make the game use it. However the game only reads the folder itself made the first time you started the game.&nbsp;Here is an easy way to find out which folder your game is using: https://sims4.crinrict.com/eng/2018/07/how-to-find-your-user-folder/

@jpkarlsen i have an external hard drive so i did create my mods folder by myself and downloaded a resource file to put it in my mods folder

@CGrant56hi all of my cc are not put in any folders they are combined with my resource file if you get what i’m saying . i also have an external hard drive and had to change the path of where my EA FOLDER GOES( including mods) &nbsp;it is still confusing to me because my script mods are showing but NONE of my custom content are listed.
