Hello! I've recently picked the sims 4 back up after not playing for years. I previously had the game downloaded through Origin, and did a recent switch over to EA. The previous CC/Mods that I had synced into the game through Origin have been kept safe, but yesterday I tried downloading and inputting new CC. Even with my CC/Mods enabled in-game, none of the new downloads seem to be taking hold in the game (the CC are not showing up in CAS and older CC that I've deleted isn't removed). I looked in my files to see if it was a syncing issue, but each file seems to be good. I'm not sure what might be causing the problem. Is it something in-game that I need to do or something with the files?
I already took the cc/mods out and put them into a new mod folder thinking that would resolve the issue, but it hasn't. Not sure what else to do. Any tips or information? Thank you 🙂
- Moozilla132 years agoSeasoned Ace@AverageGamerGrl Did you delete the localthumbcache file before making changes to your mods folder? That can sometimes cause issues if you don't. Also do you use OneDrive? A lot of players have had issues with this doing the sorts of things you've described.
- 2 years ago@Moozilla13 No, I didn't delete that file. Where would I find that? Yes, I have OneDrive, I moved my files to my downloads so that OneDrive doesn't affect them.

@AverageGamerGrl You're going to need to look at this topic to see how to get the game folders not only out of OneDrive but also where the game sees them: https://answers.ea.com/t5/Technical-Issues-PC/CURRENT-ISSUE-Sims-4-saves-user-content-disappearing-PC/td-p/12475370. If they aren't in the Mods folder the game itself creates, the game won't see them, and the game looks for that in Documents.
Localthumbcache is a file in the folder Documents > Electronic Arts.
I also recomment the How to Use Mods topic in this forum.
