Missing the resource.cfg File in Mods folder

For some reason I don't have the resource file that is required for mods to work in the game. The Mods folder wasn't there either. I had to create it myself.

  • Where are you looking ? In documents or in programs ? Should be in documents.

    Are you sure you're checking the right location ?

    Have you tried moving the saves folder to the desktop to see if that recreates and if you still have your saves even if you did that (which would point to the game using an other user folder entirely)

    I am missing the resource.cfg file completely, however I do have the mods folder in the correct place.

    The file should create when you start the game. 

    Could you post a screenshot of your mods folder ? Where is it located ? Are you using oneDrive ?

  • do you have a link to a resource.cfg i could just re-download ? I did that last time but I forgot the link to it

    Hi @dva_uwupogchamp

    you don't need to redownload. The game will create the correct one automatically if you start the game. If it doesn't, the game is using a different folder than you think.

    Hi! I just tried to download cc and I realized I don't have the resource.cfg file at all. I don't know what to do because I really want this custom content and I don't know any other way that could help me get it. I've looked up any other different ways to get cc and none of them have the answers. Can you help?

    Provided you have played the Sims 4 you will have that file as it is created automatically. So you are probably looking in the wrong place. You should read the install instructions where you got the CC.

    So idk how but I had the file be opened with internet explorer and can’t change it back and when I have the game create a new one it stays with the Internet explorer, is that a problem?

    @Zoagoat No, it's not a problem. You can re-associate it with another program if it bothers you that it's IE. Like notepad for example.

    Hey there. 

    Since this is a pretty old thread that wasn't updated for quite a bit I've gone ahead and locked it. 

    If you need help with an issue like this feel free to create a new thread, and we'll take a look. 

    Thanks!
