Are you on a Mac or PC? And do you have OneDrive or iCloud enabled? The game may be looking in the wrong place where you have MCCC installed so it is not actually reading the files on startup. What is the exact path to your Electronic Arts>The Sims 4>Mods folder?
Hope this helps.
im on a mac, and yes thats my exact path. it worked in the past but i deleted the game a while back and just redownloaded it and now it doesn't work
Ok, but where does the path originate? Does the drive for your path match the one for the game files and are they on the same drive?
One way to get the full path is to right-click on the mods folder and select Get Info, then copy and paste the entire file path under Where.in your reply.
And you can also find the path in game by following this link. How to find your user folder – Crinrict's Sims 4 Help Blog
Hope this helps.
Its in the icloud folder, then documents, then electronic arts. is that what you were asking? im not super good with all the folders and stuff
Yes, that is what I was asking.
I've asked another helper who knows a lot more about both Macs and the ICloud to take over helping you. I'm on PC and don't use the cloud. I think what may be happening is your game is looking in the wrong place for the user folder so it's not seeing MCCC or your other files in the mods folder. But I'm not sure how to fix that on a Mac.
Hope this helps.
@internetwitch1 Your mods need to be in the same folder Sims 4 is reading. That should be Users > [your username] > Documents > Electronic Arts > The Sims 4, but you can double-check with the guide CGrant56 posted earlier:

The game won't read any files in any other folder, including in iCloud Drive. So you'll need to move your mods to the correct folder. To open the version of Documents on your computer (not in iCloud) open a Finder window, click Macintosh HD in the left panel, then open Users > your username > Documents etc. If you don't see Macintosh HD, click Finder in the upper-left corner of the screen, then Preferences > Sidebar, and check the box next to hard disks.
When you download just make sure it doesn’t save to your iCloud, make sure you chose where to download. Same thing if you are pc and have one drive you have to download it to your physical hard drive.
i dont have macintosh in my finder app at all, but i found it in my desk utility. My whole sims game is in documents which is in my icloud drive. what should i do
@internetwitch1 Please list the exact file path you see through the in-game method listed here:

For Macintosh HD, it would have a different name if you've renamed your hard disk, but it will have the same icon regardless:
If you don't see that in a Finder window, please follow the instructions I posted earlier:
If you don't see Macintosh HD, click Finder in the upper-left corner of the screen, then Preferences > Sidebar, and check the box next to hard disks.
