Re: Re: Sims 4 mods/cc enabled but won't show up - please help

hi , attached is what's in my mods folder. I only have one thing at the moment because a while ago I was annoyed and deleted everything. this mod I've downloaded however is new and was updated February 5th of this year but it still won't show up in the game.

@Magnecent  Try taking the file(s) out of the folder in the screenshot, and make sure all the files end in .package or .ts4script.

Attached to this is what's in the folder of the mod I downloaded. It ends in package and script and also shows up at the start up of the game so I think with the mods itself there might not be a problem. For some reason its just not loading in the game. 

Could it also be that iMac no longer accepts mods on sims 4 game? Is that why everything I've ever tried just doesn't seem to be working no matter who helps me?

@Magnecent  So if you put those two files directly into Mods, the mods still don't work?  What if you download MCCC or a mod by TwistedMexi: does it work in-game?

If MCCC or TM mods don't work, please create a new admin account on your Mac.  Don't link it with your iCloud account at all (you can skip that step), and don't import any user settings.  Launch the game once in the new account, then install one mod (again something like MCCC or a TM mod, so we know it works overall) and see whether its interactions show up.

If that mod doesn't work either, please let me know what operating system your Mac is running.  Mods do still work, but some OSs have additional security settings that need to be tweaked.  And if you use a third-party antivirus, please let me know which one.

Hi. so I downloaded a mod directly off TwistedMexi. It's the full house mod where you can add more than 8 members to your household, it also ends in t4script so it should be good. However, all it does is it shows up at the start up of the game but isn't working in the game. How do I check which operating system my Mac is running so I can see if there are additional security settings that are making my mods not work?

thanks.

I'm dealing with the same issue on my MacBook. Ever since the update all of my mods show at start up but not during actual gameplay. 

@Magnecent  Click the Apple icon in the upper-left corner of your screen and select About This Mac, and you'll see the OS version as well as a bunch of other info.  Please also let me know whether you use a third-party antivirus, and if so, which one.

@tg621534  Please share the above information as well.

Hey, so this Mac is Ventura 13.1. It's the 24 inch m1,2021. 

Im not sure if it uses any antivirus software, if it does then it came with it, I didn't personally install it myself.

@Magnecent  Macs don't come with a third-party antivirus installed, so unless you or someone else downloaded one, that's not the issue.

Please create a new admin account on your Mac, which you can do through System Preferences > Users & Groups.  Don't tie the account to iCloud (you can skip that step), and don't import any settings.  Launch Origin and Sims 4 in the new account, which you can do without reinstalling anything, enable script mods and custom content, and quit.  Download a fresh copy of MCCC or a TM mod and test it out.

Any time your computer asks you to grant Origin or Sims 4 access to something, say yes.  Denying permissions may cause a repeat of the same issue.

Hi, cool I will try making a new admin account but how to I access admin preferences please?

@Magnecent  System Preferences is an icon on the right side of the Dock, or you can open it by clicking the Apple icon in the upper-left corner and selecting System Preferences.

Hi, alright thanks, will do that now. Also, should I delete my main admin account before creating the new one ?

@Magnecent  No, definitely do not delete your main admin account.  It contains all your user data, both for the Sims 4 (saves, mods, etc.) and in general, and you might even have some applications installed into this user account's Applications folder rather than the main one.

You can have multiple admin accounts on the computer at the same time.  The point of creating a new one is to see whether the problem carries over, which narrows down the underlying issue either way.  If the problem is solved in the new account, you don't necessarily need to abandon the old one; we can just start looking into causes that would be specific to one account rather than global.

hi, so ive went to the apple icon on the left hand side of the screen but the only option is "system settings" and not "system preferences. ive clicked on system settings but it only brings me to the general settings. I can't find where the admin account is.

@Magnecent  Then click "System Settings" instead, then Users & Groups.  I'm still running Big Sur, so it's "System Preferences" for me.  Here's a guide, in case it helps:

for some reason the Mac is not allowing me to create another admin account, when I do it keeps saying password does not match when I'm putting in the correct password that I use to unlock the Mac every time I want to use it

@Magnecent  Are you sure you're currently using an admin account?

hey, yeah iam currently using an admin account. the admin account is the one I log into evrytime I want to use the iMac. for some reason I cannot create another admin account. I also have a guest account that is switched off 

@Magnecent  What happens when you try to create the admin account?  Please post a screenshot of what you see.  For example:

You can see that my current account is an Admin account (red arrow).  And I've clicked the lock (red box) to allow changes on this screen, then clicked the + above it to add a new account.
