Custom Content not showing up in The Sims 4

Check under Options --> Game Options if they are enabled.

I have been trying the last three hours trying to get custom content to download for my game. I do not have any sub folders in the mods folders and custom content is enabled in the game. They are all package files and I have been putting them into my mods folder but they are just showing up when I check to see if the custom content is being shown but it is not. I download custom content from tumblr, the sims resource, and my sims 4 blog. What should I do now?

I have played the sims 4 and did not have a problem with it until now.

Could you post a picture of your options menu (other) ?

I have been having trouble as well with my custom content not showing up in my game. I have never had a problem with it until now and I do not know what to do. I have uninstalled the game two times and still there is no change. Can someone please help me?

Did you check if custom content is ticked in the game options ? There's a new option under Other

i have tried everything to get my custom content into my game. will someone please sort it for me? i have a macbook air and everything is okay. but when it comes into create a sim nothing shows up. 

thanks

We can't sort it for you. You need to find out what's not working yourself.

Did you follow instruction to a T ? Do they show up on the mod/cc dialog ?

im having this problem and the cc is on i have previous things i have downloaded in the game but i recently put more cc in the mods folder and it is not showing up in the game. i have restarted and everything and no one seems to have a solution 

Did you check if it's turned on in your game options ?

I've been looking everywhere for an answer to this and I cant find one either. I've spent the last 5 hours trying to download CC and get it to work.. I've only gotten 1 cc to work which was a pair of jeans for clothing. I don't have any cc in sub folders just all in mod folders so i dont know what the problem is

Does it show in the overview mods window at the beginning ?

Are you sure they are for Sims 4 and not Sims 2 or 3 ?

It's really hard to distinguish what's cc and what's from the game as the icons are mostly all the same.

MIne doesn't show at the beginning. I have been trying for ages 

its the same here I click on resource.cfg and it says "how do you want to open this file?" where do I go for game options is it in game?

thanks

You want to open it with the notepad.

You can access game options from the menu that appears when you click in the "..." button in the top right corner.

Can you please help? My CC isn't showing up, and I'm using an 2014 version of the Sims 4 that doesn't have an option to enable mods. I unzipped a few of them and put all the packages into the mods folder, no subfolders. At startup, they are all listed, but none of them actually work in the character creator.

Why don't you update your game ?

me too! I swear i've WinRAR-extracted-drag-and-dropped-into mods folder all of the downloaded cc. 

I have a seperate Hair and shoes folder. I downloaded 2 hairs,put them in the folders,but they didn't show up.

i also have a Women's Clothing folder, which also contains 2.

except,one of the dresses in that folder passed all challenges (not literally though) and made it into CAS.

in my game options,i enabled cc,and they showed me the CC/script mods i have when i opened the game. 

So,all the cc i downloaded are in that list (trust me after opening and closing the game i made it important to see the list as soon as the game opens)

but in CAS,there's nothing. (except for that gown i'm so happy that got in) 

same !! its starting to ruin the game for me, i have always loved playing sims but now my cc isn't showing up on cas. i have followed all the steps correctly and its still not there its really annoying

And you turned it on in your game options ? There's a new option there.

How to update my game?

Right click on the game in Origin and choose check for udpates

I dont see the new option but i downloaded my game for free im having the same problem i took the subfolders out still not working

Hello, it's the same for me. I've tried everything, here's my folder (only a couple mods are working, most aren't though): http://prntscr.com/bvi7sq

Ok if your cc used to work and now doesn't its probably because the item doesn't support the newest version of sims 4 update.. and every time the sims update you have to recheck the boxes, like enabled custom content and script mods, plus if you update your game without removing the cc that can probably miss up the cc.. so i would suggest deleting the cc that doesn't show up and reloading it in the game, and if that doesn't work then it probably wont again because the creator needs to make the cc work with sims 4 updates...

BUT HERE WAS MY PROBLEM THAT I FIXED... YAY!

ok so gamergirl you are not having this issue but this is for anyone else that still has a problem with Sims 4 cc..

I couldn't believe that this was such a small mistake on my part that it took me 3 hours to figured out..

Make sure your game is updated to the latest update...Check your boxes on the menu (cc, and sm) Here was my mistake: I was clicking on the sims 4 icon on the desktop and was going to open file location... BUT that will not work.. you need to go to my computer look for the documents section Electronic Arts for me sense I have my game on origin.. and then sims 4.. mod and then put your cc there! It was a simply fix. Hope this helps..

** If you have the torrent sims 4 and you dont have sub-folders because it was Free game for you, then personally I feel like you done deserve free cc because you should have payed for the game so you cant complain that you dont have the stuff that PAID users have, so I wont be helping anyone out that had a free game..
