Sub Folders

Long, long ago, in a land far, far away. Just kidding. A long time ago when I would play Sims (all versions except Sims 4), I would have sub folders nestled in my Mods folder so I could keep everythi...

    @candiecoatediv If you look in the root of the MODS folder, you'll see a file called "Resource.cfg". Delete this file and try the game again. (With folders)

@candiecoatediv You had a corrupted resource file. This tells where your mods are in folders. Deleting the file caused Sims to recreate it properly. As long as the resource file stays as it is now, your mods will work fine.

    @Psychotps  Could that happen if I just kept copying and pasting the resource file each time I downloaded mods? I never let the game generate one.

      @candiecoatediv Possibly, if it was done incorrectly.

      There's extremely few reasons to modify that file. 99.9% of the players will never need to change it. You should just leave it there as it is and never change it. If a mod has one of those files in there, or claims you need to change it, ignore it and leave yours as it is.

      If someone here says you need to remove your mods, you can safely leave the Resource.cfg file there. That's not a mod.

      It's not a big deal to fix as you've seen. If it gets messed up again, just delete it and the game will create you a new one.
