Re: Accidentally deleted my mods folder! HELP

what if just making a new folder doesn't work?

Hi @simmercutie1,

Creating the folder is not enough as you need a file resource.cfg inside your folder for mods to work.

If it's missing, the Mods folder and resource file will be regenerated by the game the next time you open your game. Once the game has created the Mods folder and the resource file inside it, you can install your games as usual.

Yeah what if new folder doesnt work 

Hey so I read this because my mods folder got deleted also ! it was very helpful but how do I get to my sims directory 

@chloherm714

Did your folder get deleted or does your mods not show up in game? The file directory is your folder, what exactly are you asking for?
Usually you have the mods in C:\Users\Username\Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 4\mods, if you deleted them, check your trash can.

If you have the mods in the folder but they're not showing up in game:

I guess you double checked that script mods and cc were activated in the game options? Both of them?

And then you have mods that do not work? All mods or just some? If it's just some mods that do not work, which ones?

If no mods show up in your game

• Did you place them in C:\Users\Username\Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 4\Mods
• Do the game register that there are mods? Do they show up in the list in the beginning or if you open the mods list from the options menu?
• Do you have OneDrive on your computer? Make sure that the game is not using the OneDrive-folders. Try turning off OneDrive before starting the game.

You can check where the game saves your files by looking in your Game Options - Screenshot settings.

Make sure that the path above is the same place as where you have your saves and mods.

I also deleted my mods file to regenerate since resource.cfg was corrupted and not letting my CC work. I opened my game, played for a bit and quit but the mods file had not regenerated. Please help me ☹️. Thanks

Can you please copy the path above and paste it in an answer here?

I have one drive. How do turn off one drive?

@paramore2017

Rightclick OneDrive choose Settings. On the settings Tab deselect Start OneDrive Automatically. Restart your PC.

Or you can just tell it not to synchronize Documents. You do this on the Auto Save tab.

oho my gosh it worked!

@CMeki I have the same problem, all my cc and mods are gone! I looked in my files on my computer and there not there! I see you've helped others and I've read what you say to do but i'm still confused! I just don't get the C:\Users\Username\Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 4
Restart the game part. Please help me!!!

@Mikayla_Classic Can you find the game files in Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 4? Can you see your Mods folder there, with your mods inside it?

Keep in mind if you updated your game just before your mods are not showing in-game, that updating the game usually disables mods. You should be able to enable mods again from the game settings menu.

Cheers,
