My MODs Wont Work After UPDATE!

I haven't played sims 4 in a few months and was working fine the last time I played it. I've just come on and needed to update my game and now some of my MODs don't want to work. 

I have tried repairing the game on the EA app, updated my MODs on CurseForge, updated my laptop, tried reparing MODs on the CurseForge App and tried everything on the sims 4 game (going into options and turning off the MODs, exiting the game and turning MODs option back on) still doesn't work. When the home screen comes on it says all the list of MODs on the game but they are not in the game working. 

Someone PLEASE help!!

Been trying for 2 hours and I'm losing my mind

  • Hi, The mods need to be updated. Look for them on the modders pages in Patreon or wherever you downloaded them from.

    Check if your mods folder has the Resource.cfg file. 
    If not, move your mods somewhere else, delete the mods folder and launch the game so the game re-creates the folder. After that, move your mods back
    Alternative create the file manually. I'll share the content of mine (which is slighly modified from the OG one, to add more folder levels for the search)

    Priority 500
    PackedFile *.package
    PackedFile */*.package
    PackedFile */*/*.package
    PackedFile */*/*/*.package
    PackedFile */*/*/*/*.package
    PackedFile */*/*/*/*/*.package
    PackedFile */*/*/*/*/*/*.package
    PackedFile */*/*/*/*/*/*/*.package

    Having the mod list enabled on startup causes a ton of performance issues. It's recommended to disable it when not necessary. You can check it from the Game settings anyways.

    As for your settings, after any update the game disables mods. Ensure that you have enabled both mods and script mods before confirming your changes, closing and launching the game again.

  • LucyLocket_x95​ Since you have the Mods list showing up on start, at least we've ruled some causes out. The game is seeing the mods properly, and mods are turned on. 

    When you say the mods "are not in the game working," what do you mean exactly? There are different ways this can be the case. 

  • thanks for the replies I'll try out what you have said and fingers crossed it will work. christian_39​  6fiyibkgn59u​. I do have all my MODs on CurseForge which update themsselves as that's where i found them. Do I need to look on Patreon as well for better updates? 

    luthienrising​. So basically one MOD i have is you can order certain food objects like different bread or meat or snacks and the MOD says downloaded on the start screen but in game the MOD just isn't there  but then MODS like objects or clothes are working fine
