@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.

I deleted the localthumbcache file and it deleted everything from my game, so I'm going to reset my system to a time before i deleted these files.
I also went through the OneDrive and the game to see what file the game was reading, and it's a OneDrive file that I no longer have access to. I'm trying to find a way to change what files the game is reading from or figuring out where I need to put the files for the game to read them without damaging my saves/game data. I stopped OneDrive from syncing the files just in case that might be causing the problem as well.

@AverageGamerGrl For how to get Sims out of OneDrive, head to this toptc: https://answers.ea.com/t5/Technical-Issues-PC/CURRENT-ISSUE-Sims-4-saves-user-content-disappearing-PC/td-p/12475370
Deleting localthumbcache doesn't delete anything from the game. What it does is delete the temporary memory of mods, CC, what Sims look like in that bottom left corner, etc., so the game goes to look again at what it should actually be loading. If you removed the Mods folder, it will now see that you removed the Mods folder, which is intentional. Just don't save like that!
- 2 years ago@luthienrising I moved my files from one OneDrive account to another and I believe it "reset" my game because now the game won't read them from the OneDrive account I want the game to. Idk how to change where the game reads the files from.
Also, what you said would occur from deleting the localthumbcache happened. So how can I get the game to now see the mods/cc I want it to see?
