so, I have my cc in the right folders, I have the right game options on and off, I have uninstalled and re-installed my game and I have updated it (it didn't need an update) and it doesn't show up in sims like when I press view custom content none of the things I got show up. It's been like this ever since I bought sims 4 which was I think December 2020, can someone help me fix this (also I'm pretty sure my cc is updated cuz I literally downloaded some yesterday and it still didn't show up)

@Rock1334124 If it is in the right folder it is because you downloaded it in a compressed format and you forgot to unpack it.

@Rock1334124 Please open Terminal and copy and paste the following command then hit Enter/Return: find ~ -type d -name "*Mods*" 2>/dev/null After a little while it will return the results of the search. Please copy and paste the results in a post here. What settings do you have Off in the game settings? Any settings related to 3rd party content needs to be enabled.

@Bluebellflora I copy and pasted "find ~ -type d -name "*Mods*" 2>/dev/null" and I got "The system cannot find the path specified." so nothing came up but that and I have everything on but "hide reported content" and "enable keyboard dynamic lighting"

@Rock1334124 That's very strange. Can you attach a screenshot to a post here?

maxis does not pre-screen or support mods

You're on Windows? This is the Mac forum and the command I gave you is only relevant to macOS 🙂

Moved to the PC forum for better troubleshooting.

Please post a screenshot of the contents of your Mods folder. Make sure that the path is visible.
