Hi @simmercutie1,

Creating the folder is not enough as you need a file resource.cfg inside your folder for mods to work.

If it's missing, the Mods folder and resource file will be regenerated by the game the next time you open your game. Once the game has created the Mods folder and the resource file inside it, you can install your games as usual.

I also deleted my mods file to regenerate since resource.cfg was corrupted and not letting my CC work. I opened my game, played for a bit and quit but the mods file had not regenerated. Please help me ☹️. Thanks

    @yansimmer

    You can check where the game saves your files by looking in your Game Options - Screenshot settings.

    Can you please copy the path above and paste it in an answer here?

        @Mikayla_Classic Can you find the game files in Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 4? Can you see your Mods folder there, with your mods inside it?

        Keep in mind if you updated your game just before your mods are not showing in-game, that updating the game usually disables mods. You should be able to enable mods again from the game settings menu.

        Cheers,
