Help!! Sims 4 Custom Content not working

I am a relatively new Sims player. I added a plethora of custom content with the help of my friend (someone who has been playing Sims since it came out). Everything was working fine, with some occasional corrupt cc. When I ran into issues it was easy to fix. However, now when I open up the Sims none of my custom content shows up. I checked to make sure "custom content" and "script mods" are enabled. I also opened the game in hopes to find a possible corrupt cc, but none of the cc's show up anyway. I reinstalled the game, removed the cc folder and reset the game then added it back in, I've scoured the internet for answers, etc. Nothing has worked. I even deleted the origin app and the Sims (I am on a Macbook Pro). Still, nothing. This is driving me crazy! I went so far as to delete my beloved Sims and start a new game. Nothing has changed. The game is running fine but there is absolutely no custom content. In case you are wondering, I checked in settings to see if any content shows up in the list. Nothing is there. It was working one day and a week later it just.. stopped. I am at my wit's end, please help!

  • @pkxnvmtz81u4  Please make sure the custom content is in the folder Sims 4 is reading.  Here's how to find that folder:

    You can see the file path to the Mods folder that contains your cc by right-clicking it and selecting Get Info, then looking under Where.  If these file paths don't match, for example if the cc is in iCloud Drive, that's why the content isn't loading in-game.

    If this doesn't help, move the Mods folder to the desktop, launch Sims 4 to spawn a new Mods folder, download a fresh copy of one cc item, and add it, but nothing else yet, to the new Mods folder.  Let me know whether the new item shows up in-game.
