- Same thing here, I'm sure I'm doing everything right, everything is enabled, I let the game generate a new mods folder, I dont even have any new cc that might be breaking the game, just what I had before and not a singe cc item is showing up in the game anymore.
Can someone help? Any ideas what might be causing this? Thank you for any response <3 - I am just checking also that you hsve these boxes checked in game options @Lapleesa

Hello
Try doing what MistyDove suggested and try turning off all the filters in CAS and see if the cc then appears,
Try resetting your sims 4 folder and see if that helps. To do that, move your sims 4 folder ( that is in Documents -Electronic Arts - then the sims 4 folder is there ) to the desktop. Then start the game, and a new sims 4 folder will be generated. Exit the game and then add back the "options.ini" file and the "saves" , "screenshots" "tray" "custom music "folders from the desktop sims 4 folder to the new sims 4 folder, replacing the new generated file/ folders with the old file/folders that have the same name.
Don't put back the old mods folder. Instead, place your cc/mods into the newly generated mods folder. Then test to see if that helps."bbroseeee;15374423" wrote:

oh... i think i found a solution to my problem.. but how do i update or patch my sims4? i never tried doing this before because i don't know how. please help.
Hello @bbroseeee
Go to games library in origin, right click the sims 4 picture and click " update game" . It will then tell you if your game is uptodate, and will update your game if it isn't.
If the "keep my game updated" setting is ticked in Origin, it will update your game automatically. You can see if this setting is ticked, by pressing the origin label at the top of the screen in origin, click application settings from the drop down menu, then look at the settings under " applications " on the next sceeen that appears."Kammie2303;c-15898140" wrote:
My custom contents aren't working. I've downloaded some cc's a few days ago and decided to download more today, but they didn't show up. I tried deleting the old mods, I tried uninstalling sims 4 and reinstalling, I've tried putting the folder on the desktop but nothing will work. It's always the old cc's that shows up and not the new ones. Please help
Hello @Kammie2303
I am sorry that you are having these issues. If you haven't already done this, try moving your mods folder to the desktop. Launch the game, and a new mods folder will be generated. Exit the game. Then put your mods/cc from the old mods folder into the newly generated mods folder and test to see if the issues remain.
Make sure that there is only one resource.cfg file in the folder
Make sure that you have extracted the package files out of the zipped folder or the rar file, if they come in zipped or rar formats. They can't be left as rar or zipped files.
Try placing the package files directly into the mods folder without being in sub folders.
Check that the files are for sims 4, and not for sims 2 or 3.
Try downloading cc from a different site to where you downloaded your current new cc from, and see if that appears."Kammie2303;c-15899066" wrote:
@rosemow I have tried doing it and yes it is for sims 4 as I don't have sims 2 or 3 on this computer. I tried taking the mods folder out and launched the game but there was no new mods folder. I have also tried downloading cc's from other websites than the one I did first. I have accidentally deleted the resource.cfg file though and already emptied my recycle bin, is there a way to get it back?
Hello
Go to this link thread, and half way down the page there will a picture of a drive with an arrow on it . Press that and download the file.That is a resource.cfg file that you can download and place in your mods folder if there isn't one already there. You will need to take the file out of the zipped file and place it into the mods folder.

I have downloaded and unzipped the resource.cfg file but it is still the old mods that's showing up.
If you use One Drive, it can cause issues with sims 4. Try seeing if there is sims 4 folder there. If there is. try unsyncing onedrive."Kammie2303;c-15899102" wrote:
There isn't but I do have one more sims 4 folder in the documents and I have my ea folder on the desktop, should I try to delete the folder in the documents?
Having the two sims 4 folders in documents can be causing the issues. Keep the sims 4 folder there that contains your new mods. Move the othervsims 4 folder to the desktop. Then test to see if the new mods appear.- I think I have found the folder where the old mods are! They were in the documents folder and I have deleted those now and put the new ones in, thank you so much for the help though!
