I did everything and still can't bring my CC back into the Sims 4

@DWZ3 No worries I also use a laptop. Mainly I was trying to find out if you were using Windows or Mac. Sorry for the confusion.

Sometimes the game stops recognizing the Mods folder and a way to fix it is to get the game to create a new one. Can you try doing this?

• Move your entire Mods folder to your Desktop. Don't delete anything from it, just keep it safe there for now. This is your backup.
• Launch Sims 4 and start a New Game test save. This should get the game to create a new Mods folder. You don't have to keep playing you can just exit right away if you want.
• Next go back to your old Mods folder on your Desktop and copy one or a few CC files to the new Mods folder in your Sims 4 folder. Use copy & paste not cut & paste. We still want to keep everything in your old Mods folder as a backup. Your new Mods folder should already have a file called Resource.cfg-- don't do anything with this file, it should be fine as is.
• Launch your game again & double-check that CC and Mods are still enabled in your game options. Hopefully you should see the CC files you just copied over back in your game.
• If this all works you can copy & paste the rest of your CC files into the new Mods folder.

Hopefully this fixes things but if not let us know, there are other things we can try. This is the easiest fix & often works. Good luck! :D
