Hello, I'm having a serious issue involving my CC downloads and it's really starting to tick me off. Basically, when I download my CC and move it like so; Documents>EA>The Sims 4>Mods It doesn't show...

Yes, this picture is exactly what I needed!
As you can see, one of the resource.cfg-files is in your OneDrive. That means that your Sims game is using your OneDrive as the game folder and not your documents.
If you want to, you can move your Mods-folder to your OneDrive. Some people have reported that playing the game via OneDrive can cause problems, but I don't know how common it is, so you can try that if you like using OneDrive. Your option is to either uninstall OneDrive, or turn off OneDrive every time you run the game.

If you choose to not use OneDrive, please check if all your saves are in your normal Sims 4 folder, otherwise you might want to move the saves from OneDrive to the other folder. This goes for screenshots also if you want to save them, and anything you might have in your Tray-folder (sims and lots in the library).
Please tell me if something was unclear and needs further explanation!
Good Luck!

Hi!
This might happen when the game uses another file directory than usual.
In NONE of your mods are showing up at all, this could be the issue. Sounds like it.

Remove the resource.cfg from the Mods folder (it will create a new one you don't need to find one)

Start the game, enter a save and a random household, save, and exit again.

Go to your file/windows explorer and search for "resource.cfg", Make the file explorer full screen and take a screen shot of the results, and post it here (original size so that I can see everything)

@CMekiThis is all that popped up when I searched "resource.cfg" in my file explorer. So I'm not sure if that's what need to show up or not.
