    What does your resource.cfg file look like?  And do you have your CC in subfolders?  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.  My file looks like this and all my CC shows up in the game.  My game will read subfolders up to 5 deep but I have most of mine only 2 or 3 subfolders deeps.  So, you might want to modify yours if it does not go deep enough.

    Hope this helps.

    @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)  it is still confusing to me because my script mods are showing but NONE of my custom content are listed.

    Like I wrote that will not work unless you made a symbolic link. Use the instructions I posted to find where the Mods folder the game is using is located. By default that will be here: Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 4\Mods

    If you want instructions on how to make a symbolic link let me know.

    hey, i dont know if you still have this issue or not, but maybe this will help someone else. i just deleted the resource cfg file and run the game without it, it created its own and now it works
