Don't see CC in my game

I unzipped the files, put them in the mods folder for TS4, and my game pops up the CC warning at the start screen, but it still doesn't show any CC in the CAS (I have only downloaded CC for CAS area of the game just to test the waters). I would be grateful for any help, even if you have to give me the dummy's version of explanation. Thank you!

    It depends entirely what CC you downloaded. Sometimes it can be hard to find CC recolours because the thumbnails don't regenerate for them automatically. There are two solutions:

    1. Navigate to C:\Users\\Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 4\ and delete 'localthumbcache.package'. this file contains the cached thumbnails and if the game doesn't find it it will regenerate it next time it is run.
    2. Find the item that was recoloured and make sure to click on every 'swatch' until you find it.

    For explanatory purposes a 'thumbnail' in this context is the image of the clothing item that appears on the right hand side and that you click on to change the clothing on the sim, a 'swatch' is the little block of colour/colours that you select from to change the colour of an item of clothing.

    I don't seem to have a mods folder. I have a folder called bin and in there there is a folder called res, is this the same thing?

    It's in your Documents/Electronic Arts/The Sims 4/Mods. Not Program Files.

    @JollyRoses There isn't going to be a mods folder or a resource file in your program files. We aren't supposed to put anything in the program files area.

    Doesn't matter if you installed from disc or via origin, you need to look in your documents folder for Electronic Arts, not within program files.

    You also have to run the game at least once first, but after that it will be there. Doesn't matter where you installed the game.
