Mods unavailable in game

I am unable to access mods in game and cannot find the mod file in the sims folder. Mods aren’t even shown as available in cas “content” filter which proves my game doesn’t recognize them either way....

cc or mods removed

RebeccaRob08 You've installed the game into Documents, which is a problem for various reasons. and should be addressed first So please copy the saves and Tray folders here, as well as Screenshots if you care about those, to another location on your computer (not in Documents, but the desktop is fine). Then uninstall the game through the EA App, and clear the App's cache:

Restart your computer and install Sims 4 elsewhere. The default C:\Program Files\EA Games is fine, as is a custom location as long as it's NOT in Documents or Desktop.

Once you've done that, start the game again and confirm that the user folder is still in the same location. Open that exact location and look for a Mods folder. If you're not sure whether you're in the right folder, or you don't see a Mods folder, you can open the location manually. Click This PC in the left panel of a File Explorer window, double-click the C drive, and open Users > your username > Documents etc. from there.

GalacticGal To deactivate the event, open the game and disable Online Social Features, under Options > Game Options > Other. Then quit and delete accountDataDB.package in the user folder. The event prompt should be gone.

For the inability to save or travel, that could also be related to OneDrive. So please check the file path on one of your saves. If you see OneDrive in the path, how to get rid of it is covered here:
