Hi, I'm new to here and downloading mods. I was hoping someone could tell me how to keep script mods turned on in my game. I click the little box, click apply changes then I restart the game. It shows me the regular mods but not the script mods that should be there and when I look at the box for script mods its no longer clicked.
Hi! I hope I can help! You are doing the right thing with enabling Mods, we just have to troubleshoot a little bit!
IF YOU ARE PLAYING THE LEGACY VERSION OF THE GAME CHECK WITH THE CREATOR OF THE MOD TO SEE IF IT IS COMPATIBLE
1. Make sure your Mod is not in a ZIP or RAR folder, if it is it needs to be unpacked. If you have a newer computer you should be able to right-click on the folder and choose to unpack/unzip it. Otherwise, you may need to download
7-Zip or something similar from your Google or Outlook Store. Once the Mod is unpacked cut and paste any ,package files and .ts4script files to your Mods folder
2. Only files ending with .package and .ts4script should be in your Mods folder
3. .ts4script mods can only be one folder deep in your Mods folder, you cannot have subfolders for script Mods
4. Anytime you install or delete a Mod you should also delete everything inside of your cache folder and the localthumbcache.package file this will clear out any bloated commands and animations
5. If you are still having problems try repairing your game. Go into your game library in Origin and right-click on The Sims 4, you should see the option to repair your game.
6. While you are in Origin you may want to disable the automatic update feature. Some players find it pleasing to play their game without the update until any broken Mods they have are been fixed. Then they remove the old mods, update, and install the new versions.
Remember step 4. :) At the top of the Origin box, there is a drop-down list labeled Origin. Choose Application Settings and you should be able to change the automatic download. (There is usually a thread on the forum under
General Mods Discussion listing broken and update Mods for the latest patch.)
7. One last thing you can do if all else fails is reset your game. Cut and Paste your Sims 4 folder to your desktop then open your game. A new folder will be generated. Close the game and copy back these files to your new Sims 4 folder:
Custom Music, Mods, Recorded Videos (if you make videos in the game), Saves, Screenshots (if you make screenshots), and
Tray. When you copy the Mods folder over you will be asked if you want to replace the resource.cfg file. I usually say no and use the newly generated file and delete the one left in the desktop folder. You should occasionally make backups of the files I listed on a thumb drive in case you have a computer disaster. Knock on wood.
8. If you still do not have Mods you may have to contact
EA Answers HQ or go to
MCCC's discord, those folks are wizards!
9. Whoops, I probably should have mentioned making sure you are downloading Mods that are compatible with the latest patch. ;)
Good luck!
