So i was cleaning up my mods folder and then i accidentally deleted the rescource.cfg file (that i have had since i first installed the game) and now my game wont start? Whenever i try to start ts4, it just pops up random numbers. And the file has already been replaced, but the new resource file is to no help.. I think it only works with the original? I also tried to revive my original file from trashbin, but that did not work either. Should i just re-install my game again then?

Trying repairing the game through Origin (right click on game in Origin and choose "repair"). If that doesn't work, move your Sims 4 folder (the one in EA Games/Documents) to the desktop and start the game. That will generate a brand new folder, including resource.cfg. Then you can move your saved game files, mods, and tray files into the new folder.

Hello.
Is there a resource.cfg file in your mods folder?

There is a new feature that when there is a game update, mods/cc are disabled. This link explains about it,
http://help.ea.com/article/mods-and-the-sims-4-game-updates

Go to options and tick the " enable custom content and mods" button which is found in :
Options | Other | Enable Custom Content and Mods. Exit the game.

If you have a resource.cfg file in your mods folder, reenable the mods/cc and test to see if they appear.

Hello @cooquakeG .
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.

rosemow, but how do I enable cc? i didn't understand what you meant in the previous post, about the options, other enable and stuff. do you mean i have to play the game while doing this or what? HELP ME!

Hello @NadinRo. When there is a patch update, cc /mods are disabled.
To make them work/appear in the game, you need to go to game options in the game. Then go to the " other" section and tick the " Enable Custom Content and Mods" box. Then exit the game.Rstart the games and your cc/mods should be appearing and working.
