Custom Content not showing up in The Sims 4

I've downloaded the clothes, put them into the Mods folder, resource.cfg file is there, but the custom content  isn't showing up in game, which is weird. Any help?

Someone please tell me what the heck i am doing wrong? I do not remember it being this difficult on earlier versions of the Sims.

Yes, my game is updated to the newest version. I download CC from thesimsresource and I moved it to my mods folder.

It is not showing up on my game. 

What am I doing wrong? I posted the screenshot so hopefully someone can help me.

This is so frustrating.

The one file I can see is a *.zip file which means that you have not unpacked it. This is necessary.

From the folder names it appears that some of them may be houses which go into the Tray folder not Mods. 

Some appears to be Sims which also go in the Tray folder.

You can not use folders inside the Tray folder but you can in the Mods folder.

Also if the folders contains zip files or another packed format such as rar these must be unpacked.

You should always read the installation instructions when you download something.

    I also had this problem, but I figured out what was wrong 🙂 

    if you are using a macbook (in my case the macbook 12" from 2015) it doesn't show you that's it's a .rar or .7zip when you download it. For me it had .package behind the zipped files, so I simply put them in my folder. It couldn't identify the zipped files, and that was my problem. 

    What I did was I downloaded The Unarchiver (here's a link for it in the App Store: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/the-unarchiver/id425424353?mt=12 )

    Once you have it downloaded, go back into your mods folder and sort it by type. The app should show you all of the zipped files and then you simply unzip them by pressing two fingers on the mousepad (right clicking) and press Open With: the unarchiver.

    Hope this helps 🙂
