Accidently deleted resource.cfg

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.

THANK U SO MUCH! This rlly helped and i have spent hours trying to figure out how to get the resource.cfg back. ;D

when you restart the game what exactly do you mean?

You need to exit the game, then start up Sims 4 again. No need to restart Origin, though you may want to make sure you have the latest version of Origin installed. Also, Sims 4 was just patched recently, so you need to check again next time you play Sims 4 under Gameplay or Other that Custom content is enabled. Each time the game is patched, all custom content and script mods are disabled. Another option is to restart your computer after exiting your game, move your Mods folder to the desktop, and then run the game again. The game will create a new empty Mods folder with nothing but resource.cfg in it. If the game does not do this, then exit the Sims 4, (not just to main menu, actually exit the game), and go into Origin and repair your game. Then run the game, and enable custom content. (I usually do not enable script mods right away when the game has just been patched until I have tested my general custom content.) Exit the Sims 4. Once you have the empty Mods folder with nothing but resource.cfg in it, move your cc from the folder on your desktop into the Mods folder that can be found at Documents/Electronic Arts/The Sims 4/Mods if you are using the PC version. Then restart the Sims 4 and your custom content, but not your script mods should show up in your game. Next, open Sims 4 and enable script mods. Check all your script mods for updates. Move the script mods (I would suggest one at a time for troubleshooting purposes) into your Mods folder, except the ones that have updated versions. I typically move script mods I know are outdated into a folder I titled "deprecated" that is kept in a different folder separate from my Sims 4 directory. (I use a subfolder of my TS4 downloads directory, which I made a subdirectory of my Downloads folder.) I run my game, test each script mod, then exit the game, then install the next script mod repeat process until my patch-compatible script mods are installed.

I have a similar problem. I was putting cc in and i moved the recourse.cfg to the top and i was wondering if that would affect anything?

Hello @ImAProudSimmer
If you move the resource.cfg file to the desktop, a new one will be generated in your mods folder when you next load your game.

Hello
It is good that your issue has been fixed. Happy simming :)

for me, i just started to play the sims in three or four months for the first time, so i decided to clear out everything inside my mods folder. so now it's wiped clean. i ended up downloading new custom content, and realized i needed the resource file. so, i finally think i got that? not sure, in the mods folder i moved it to it says 'resource.cfg' with the white paper icon. then, i opened up the game and made sure the custom content option was on, and went to make a sim. none of the content i downloaded was there. am i missing anything?

Hello @yikessoph
Try moving your whole mods folder to the desktop. Launch the game, and a new mods folder will be generated in the sims 4 folder.. Exit the game. Then put your mods/cc from the old mods folder into the newly generated mods folder and test to see if the cc appears.
This is also to make sure that a new mods folder is generated.

okay so i did all of that- and a new mod folder was created, fortunately. so i moved everything back not including the resource files already there, and launched up the game to see if the stuff would be there, and it didn't work. i don't know why its not working- if its the computer I'm on, or just i did something while deleting the files.
