Re: My mods and CC aren’t showing up in CAS
Do you have your mods and CC in subfolders within the Mods folder? It could be that they are too deep in the folder hierarchy to be seen by the game. If that is the case, then you probably need to edit your resource.cfg file to give you more folder levels. I edited mine so the game will see files that are 5 folders deep. It looks like this:
Priority 500
PackedFile *.package
PackedFile */*.package
PackedFile */*/*.package
PackedFile */*/*/*.package
PackedFile */*/*/*/*.package
PackedFile */*/*/*/*/*.package
Just open your file in Notepad and check yours to see how many levels it has.
Another thing it could be is if you have used the TSR CC Manager to install mods or CC, that could be the source of the problem. It was reported back in October and when this bug occurs, the game will no longer recognize any mods or CC installed in subfolders (not even one deep) except for TSR files installed using their program. I have no idea if this has been fixed yet. But the solution is to uninstall the CC Manager and reinstall all your mods and CC manually.
Finally, you should check all your mods and CC to make sure they work and do not conflict. Mods that conflict will sometimes block other mods from loading during game startup or cause weird things to happen in game. And broken CC will cause the game to sort of churn during loading slowing the whole process down as well as cause things to not show up in CAS or appear oddly. You will need to check the mods one at the time and then together to make sure everything is showing up and working correctly. For CC, I look at every CC item that I add with Sims4Studio individually to make sure that it is not broken and working. You will probably be surprised at what you find if you do. I found files that had never worked, broken from the start that had been in my game for years. Also duplicates. Getting rid of broken files and duplicates will speed up your load times and I found that it helped my game run smoother.
Hope this helps.
