Thank you for responding back!

See I'm not sure which package files are not showing up! I have maybe 100 GBS or so of CC, so it's very alarming when maybe 30 pieces are showing up in my game.

You need to figure out a piece that’s missing, fine the file name and then post it please. I’m asking because I need to know the exact file location.

    Whenever I try ti add the file name it says "unsupported extension type" in the reply box. But the file location goes : SIMS4DRIVE>Electronics Arts>The Sims 4>Mods>X(shoes, build, cas etc...)>individual package files

    I'll try seeing if I can add another file that is supported!

      What is the CC item that throws that error? Can you post a screenshot of the error? Have you tried putting that CC item directly in the Mods folder and not nested deeper?

        It doesn’t necessarily show an error, the items just don’t appear in the game. I did try putting them just in the mods folder, but the same issue arrived ☹️. I’m wondering if it’s a CC issue and not an issue with the hard drive
