Re: Can't activate my mods after new update.

Without my mods I can np longer play Sims 4.  The latest update ALWAYS disables the MODS. Restarting makes NO difference. Really upset as without my few mods, I can no longer play Sims 4.?

    @Lionhart127  Are script mods still enabled in settings?  Sometimes the change to reenable them doesn't stick.  In that case, the fix is to delete options.ini (in Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 4) and let the game generate a new one.  You'll need to redo all your in-game settings, but hopefully the mod setting will stick this time around.

    If mods are enabled but not showing up, your particular mods might be outdated and incompatible with the current patch.  In that case, check with the creators to see whether there are updated versions, and replace whatever you can.

    Product: The Sims 4
    Platform:PC
    Which language are you playing the game in? English
    How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
    What is your current game version number? 1.67.45.1020
    What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? Island Living, Seasons, Get Together. Moschino Stuff, Laundry Day, Outdoor Retreat, Spooky Stuff, Kitchen Stuff, and Romantic Garden.
    Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? I don't know?
    What happens when the bug occurs? The mods are ALWAYS showing as disabled, even after ticking mods in game settings and re-starting. This has ONLY happened since last update!
    What do you expect to see? After ticking mods and re-starting Sims4, I expect to see the mods ENABLED!
    Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? Yes
    Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? Yes
    Please describe the patch or change you made. The latest update 1.67.45.1020. Before this update there was no problem?

    I am really upset by this.  Some mods were created myself. My account Avatar has a mod, long blond hair!  I am sick to death of patches and updates upsetting game settings.  Not just Sims4, but other games, sims and apps. If this can not be fixed I will NOT be playing Sims4 anymore, and will NOT entertain buying any Origin/EA games again!!!

    @Lionhart127 Try deleting the options.ini file. You then need to reset all options to what you had them (as that resets everything to default) but usually changes stick after doing that.
  • I have recently updated my game of sims 4. All my saves are still there and so are my preferred settings. However, everytime I start the game It tells me to re-enable my mods. I have done this multiple times and repaired the game. I can play any of my saves but CC and mods will just simply not be there

    Please delete options.ini. You will need to reset all ingame options but this time it should stick.

    I try deleting the Option but it still doesnt work for me. The screen still tells me that my mods are disabled and when I try to enabled it, it doesnt show up.
