My new Sims 4 CC is not showing up (and i just restarted my game and deleted all my old CC). Also, my CC is enabled and my script Mods. I also use a Mac.

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 http://i.imgur.com/aTgPajq.jpg?1

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.

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.

It's always the old cc's that shows up and not the new ones. Please helpHello @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.

I'm having problems with Mods and CC too for some reason. When I was on PC, they worked just fine - when I moved to my laptop (a very good one, mind you - haven't had any problems playing any games at 40 FPS or above) and downloaded new ones, it's bringing up all of my files with the Internet Explorer icon on it. I don't know what I did wrong, but it's seriously driving me nuts.

So I’ve read through all of these chats trying to see if anything will work for my computer and so far no luck :( I have the cc box and script mods box ticks in the game settings but I can’t find any of my CC. I downloaded the CC of of the sims ressource and placed in the mods folder under electronic arts. I have also tried with other sites. Also when I tried to generate a new sims 4 folder(I took the old one out and put it on my desktop and started the game) it didnt show up. I am using a Mac. I was able to download CC for the sims 3 so I know my computer can do it. Any help is welcome.

Hello @AMur
I am sorry that you are having these cc issues. It may be best to post on a thread in the Mac section of the forums about your issues. You will need to post on a thread that another simmer has already started as you are a new member and are unable to start your own new threads yet.

Hello! I also have this problem. I downloaded sims 4 a few months ago and I downloaded mods and scripted mods ect. they all worked perfectly, until recently. When I went onto the sims, after a two or three day break. It brought me to the title screen and asked me if I wanted a tutorial, and all of my households were gone, aswell as my mods, they are enabled and they are still all in the mods folder, but everytime i load up, and i click on 'view cc'... nothing shows up. And I dont have onedrive and I have tried all the other folders, nothing seems to work/

So I just installed the sims 4 on my laptop its a windows one and while it was installing all of my mod packs I added some custom content into the mods folder and when I opened the game it was not showing I had any so I checked the settings and I had the correct ones on. What have I done wrong here?

The content you installed might be Sims 3 content by mistake or it might not be compatible with the current game version.

Do you have a non-OneDrive app that syncs or automatically backs up your Documents folder online? Because it could be the same as what OneDrive does. Any app that syncs content online can mess with Sims.

So.

Out of the blue, my mods stopped showing up. It was as though the game forgot mods exist overnight and rendered the folder, which was still there and still had every single one of the exact same files that had always been there, completely irrelevant? I didn't touch the folder. I did nothing different. I hadn't installed anything new, in the game or on my computer generally. I hadn't touched any of the mods folder, or any of the game folders, at all. This problem happened out of the blue without me doing anything other than quit the game last night, all CC intact, and load it this morning, all CC intact.....but with the game behaving as though it were empty. And yes, I checked, I have custom content and script mods enabled.

I tried removing my mods, deleting the folder and restarting my game so that it generated a new one. I put my mods back in that new folder, making sure there were no subfolders and nothing installed but the correct package and script files, exactly the same way as they were last night. Nothing. No popup on the start menu, a dialogue when I loaded my save telling me 34 items from build mode had been removed because I didn't have the items installed on my account....despite the mods folder and everything in it being exactly where it had always been, which is exactly where it is supposed to be, all files intact and correctly installed.

So I checked to see if there was a game update. There wasn't; everything was good to go. I tried repairing the game... and now it's not even generating a mods folder *at all*. I've restarted the game about four times. No mods folder. Mods enabled. Nothing I do generates a mods folder. I even tried manually creating one, redownloading a mod, putting it in the folder and ???? Nothing. Zilch.

I suppose I should expect at this point that EA doesn't care about dealing with bugs (I'm still waiting on the toddler-starvation-by-parents-incessently-taking-them-in-and-out-of-high-chairs and musical chairs fixes, cough), which is why the game is unplayable without the substantial amounts of CC that have stopped working for no discernible reason whatsoever. :/

Hello, fellow simmers!

So before the Star Wars update, my custom content wasn't showing up. I was confused and my Origin was offline and I couldn't update it so I continued playing the base game version.

Today 17/10/20 I was trying to fix the issue, first of all by making sure CC is off and turned back on. Nothing. Next, I took my mods out and put them back in. Nothing. After that, I tried doing what a lot of people would say which is to take out the old Sims 4 folder and putting my CC into a newly generated folder. Nothing. The last thing I tried is to uninstall and reinstall TS4. Still nothing.

I can't get on my OneDrive since it's having an error for my PC.

Please let me know.
