Good Evening,
I am trying to repair my sims game but it is not repairing right. This is my second time doing it. I only can "solve" this by removing Origin and then redownloading it. Is there a permanent for this?
hope this what you're looking for. and yes, that's my name.
@smikette That's exactly where the saves should be, and the mods in the same Sims 4 folder should work. Is it possible you didn't unzip them though? Mod files need to end with .ts4script or .package, and they can't be more than one subfolder deep.
The game should have also created a new resource.cfg in the new Mods folder. Please make sure it's still there, and if you downloaded another resource.cfg somewhere, delete that.
If the mods are all unzipped, resource.cfg is intact, but nothing shows up, please download a different mod, something like MCCC or one of TwistedMexi's mods that's known to work right now. You can delete it when you're done; the point is to test with a mod that other people are currently using.
@puzzlezaddict i have MCCC and Twisted Mexi's expandable catalogue. i just downloaded them today. they are script files and packages. the only other place i have a resource.cfg is in my original mods file, which i moved to the desktop.
@smikette Just to clarify, is there a resource.cfg inside the Mods folder? That alone would explain the issue. And of course so would having mods disabled, which can happen after an update; please make sure that both custom content and mods are enabled within the game settings.
If that doesn't help, try playing in a clean user folder. Move the entire Sims 4 folder out of Documents\Electronic Arts and onto your desktop, and when you launch the game, a clean folder will spawn with no content. Go into settings, enable mods and cc—they'll now be disabled by default—quit, add the MCCC files to the Mods folder, and test.
yes, there is a resource.cfg in my Mods folder. and both cc and mods are enabled in my game.
@smikette Did you try the clean user folder, as I described above?
If that doesn't help, please try playing in a new Windows admin user account. You can create a local account—don't link it to Microsoft or any other services—and sign into your existing Origin account. You won't need to redownload anything, but your saves and other content will be temporarily unavailable. Load the game, enable mods and cc, download the newest version of one mod, and see whether it works.
neither of those things worked. it shows that i have mccc installed, but it doesn't show up in game. sigh! now what?
@smikette When you say it shows you have MCCC installed, does that mean it shows when you load the game, or elsewhere? Just checking, but are you sure you're downloading the newest version of MCCC? If you installed an older version, the result could easily be what you've described.
it shows them in game options, other. i just click the view custom content button, and there they are. must be the most recent versions since it got them from deaderpool's & twisted mexi's sites.
@smikette Okay, so the game is in fact reading the mods. How are they not working in-game, as in, are the commands missing, or is there something else that's not working?
