I'm having this issue, too; my game seems to be completely messed up.
THINGS TO KNOW:
- My game was updated the day (or 2) after the most recent patch (Sept. 2017) was released. I've even clicked 'Update' 2 more times for good measure - nothing.
- I have repaired my game once already - nothing.
- I have uninstalled & reinstalled once already - nothing.
- The CC/Script boxes under Game Options ARE ticked. When I click 'Show Custom Content', nothing shows up even though I have MCCC mod & custom skin tones downloaded & in my Mods folder (I've deleted the rest of my CC) - nothing.
- I have moved my Sims Folder AND my Mods folder to and from my Documents to Desktop several times - nothing. And yes, I have restarted & exited the game several times when doing this (I've exited by saving & not saving - doesn't seem to make a difference) and new folders were never generated.
- I deleted my Mods folder/Resource file (I'll explain all that next) but have been able to retrieve my Mods folder & have downloaded a new Resource file following the link that's been posted multiple times - nothing.
- I do have OneDrive and think the problem all started when I tried clearing up storage, but I'm not 100% sure. I came across other posts regarding TS4 & OneDrive and unsynced my OneDrive and Documents where my Sims folder is located. Doing this made me lose my entire EA folder on my PC. I had to re-sync OneDrive in order to get my folder(s) back under my Documents.
Like I said earlier in this post, I only have one mod (MCCC) and custom skin tones (3 .package files) that I want to show up but my game is giving me a hard time. I have a strong feeling OneDrive is the cause of all this but I have yet to see a solution regarding it. Someone please help.
Hello @deebaz
It sounds like One Drive is causing the issue.
Try moving your Documents -electronic arts -sims 4 folder to the desktop.
Then go to One Drive and find your Sims 4 folder there. Copy the Sims 4 folder and place it in the Documents-electronic arts folder where you moved the other one from.
You then need to unlink One Drive . This link explains how to do that

Then start the game and see if that helps the issues.
