Sims 4 mods not working...

Lately for the past week, i have been having issues with Sims 4. When i try to play the game, an error message pops up and i can't play. Once i take out all of the mods and find the corrupt files, the game opens, but no mods appear in the game when there are mods and cc in the mods folder. It is really stressful and i don't know what to do now. help!!

    Try resetting your user files as described in the factory reset described in this post: http://answers.ea.com/t5/The-Sims-4/FAQ-Troubleshooting-Steps-amp-Known-Issues/m-p/3621199

    You won't loose anything. Just make sure to not delete any files  and make a backup.

    Try on a new game with nothing added back first (start new game). If it works, put back your save game and try again. If it still works, you can start putting stuff back.

    • Options.ini (or just re-set all your settings manually)
    • Tray Folder
    • Screenshots/Videos/Custom music
    • Rest of the save games (leave out slot_00000001.save which is the autosave)
    • Custom content like clothing, hair, skins, make up ....
    • Mods (one by one, making sure they all still work)

    The rest does not need putting back, cause they are mostly cache files that recreate or log files that are not needed for the game.

    It seems a mod related issue and you need to find out which one is causing it.

  • My mods are in the mods folder. Mods are enabled in settings. But none are working in game. I tried repairing and when that didn't work I deleted the whole game and reinstalled it from scratch. When I do this there is no mods folder I do have to add one and then I downloaded a resource.cfg file from online. But still, nothing works ☹️ Please help!!!

    The game creates the Mods folder at startup. If no mods folder was created where you looked it means that is not where the game stores its files. Look in other places such as on Onedrive.
