Mods suddenly disappeared
Okay so I had a lot of mods for The Sims 4. Y’know hair styles and stuff. But then when I bought a resource pack all mods just disappeared! I’ve tried to “repair” the game and update it but I doesn’t ...
Forum Discussion
Yeah, if you have the possibility to update it you should. But it the number i posted is the latest one, so you shouldn't have been able to have a newer version that that before.
Does the game start like normal without the mods?
We can try and do a resetting of your user files, maybe something in them has triggered this 🙂
Resetting your files to factory settings.
- Make a backup; copy your The Sims 4-folder from C:\Users\Username\Documents\Electronic Arts to an external drive or somewhere else on your computer, for example your desktop.
- Rename the The Sims 4-folder in C:\Users\Username\Documents\Electronic Arts to The Sims 4_backup
- Start the game, make a new save, and see if the error is gone.
(The game will have created a new The Sims 4-folder in your documents, this is supposed to happen)- If yes, continue
- If no, post a reply telling us the error is still there
- Start putting folders back in the new The Sims 4-folder. Observe! After every file/folder, start the game and make sure it still works, before putting in the next one.
- Options.ini - your game settings
- Saves - your old saves. The sub-folders are not needed. If putting these back causes problem, try putting one back at a time.
- Screenshots
- Custom music - if you have any
- Tray - your library objects; like lots, rooms and sims
- Mods - your mods and cc, might cause problems when putting back
If putting back one of the folders was problematic and you did not work it out, please post a reply and we'll see if we can find what your problem is!

Great! :eahigh_file:Advertisement about the Swedish forum:
Jag rekommenderar att du kollar in det svenska forumet om du någonsin vill ha hjälp på svenska! 🙂
Alla spel har inte så snabb support än men gäller det Sims 4 är jag där och hjälper till 😉

Happy Simming!
Oh, I didn't see you last post before answering.. :/
But you don't get the error message anymore or? (why is your game/computer in danish?) xD
Hm, what if you move all your mods, and then you put back one, maybe a new one you download right now, just to make sure it's an updated mod/cc. Just a hair or something, make sure that you have the mesh.
Then start your game, go to options - game options - other. Make sure both boxes are checked, otherwise, recheck and restart game. Then click on the button under the boxes, that said "view custom content"
Is your one mod/cc there? Go in game and try it.
Just to make sure that you don't have any mod screwing the other mods 🙂If that works you have at least one piece of cc messing things up, maybe more
You can try some different things to sort out the ones not working:
- Always make sure to update your mods when you update your game. Check this list out for some mods that were broken in the C&D-patch! A few others have been broken after but not so many that there is a list.
http://forums.thesims.com/en_US/discussion/928106/broken-mods-cats-and-dogs-nov-2017 - Download Sims 4 Studio and do batch-fixes for your cc.
- Search for the Mod Conflict Detector on google and run it, see if it can detect some broken/conflicting mods, remove these and try your game again. (Only detects conflicts between mods, not between mods and the game)
- Remove all mods and put back some at a time, start the game, see if it works, repeat, to find broken ones (last resort if you have like 1000 mods).
Good Luck!

I do get the message... But I will try what you told me.
P.S. My computer is in Danish because I live in Denmark. Even though I'm Swedish :D
Oh my god! This time it worked!! THANK YOOOUUUU!!!!! XD
Awesome! :eahigh_file:
Were you able to put most of the other mods back also?
Then if that works I guess you can mark the later post as the solution, lol XD
