[Solved] Sims 4 : Custom Content Not Showing After Update

Recently I updated my "The Sims 4". I have downloaded custom content beforehand and have played many times with the custom content showing and working. I placed all the "PACKAGE" files into the "MODS" folder. After the update I downloaded more custom content and proceeded to place the "PACKAGE" files into the "MODS" folder and only then did I start the game to play again. I selected "Create A Sim" because I wanted to see all the new custom content I downloaded, however, when I was in "Create A Sim", ALL of my custom content was missing. I have already restarted the game multiple times and still no custom content. I "CUT" the "MODS" folder, placed it on my desktop and then "PASTED" it into my "The Sims 4" folder, still no custom content. The very first time I started my "The Sims 4" game I had problems with saving, so the 'internet' helped me by telling me to move my "SAVES" folder to my desktop, start "The Sims 4" and then it will create a new "SAVES" folder and will then work, which it did. I tried that with my "MODS" folder as well, moving it to my desktop, starting the game, and hoping it would maybe create a new "MODS" folder, but it didn't. I moved it back into my "The Sims 4" folder and restarted the game, but it still didn't show up. I have restarted my PC as well. I didn't remove anything out of my "MODS" folder, only added my downloaded "PACKAGE" files. I would really appreciate it if someone would help me, I don't know what to do anymore and I haven't seen someone with the same problem.

Kind regards.

  •  SOLVED. All I had to do was go into the game itself, go to "GAME OPTIONS", then select "OTHER" and then check "ENABLE CUSTOM CONTENT AND MODS".

  • if the cc's are not going on the game and they show up on mods in files how can you get them on the game when you want to make a sim and the cc's are on the game can someone tell me because when I got cc's on Pinterest they didn't show up and I don't know how to get them on the game.

    @alinabean10  Can you please describe what you're seeing in more detail?  I'm not sure I understand exactly what's happening in your game.

    @alinabean10  Are you sure you're looking in the correct place for the cc?  It might be in a different category or only enabled for certain ages.

    If you add another cc item, does it show up where you expect it?  Are you running the standard version of Sims 4 or the Legacy Edition?

    I have the same problem, except I've downloaded several cc and any of them showed up.

    Hi folks, 

    As the OP has resolved their issue (see the accepted solution), I'll lock this thread. There have an existing thread open on mods/cc installation here: '[FAQ] How to use Mods/CC' however. Please feel free to pop in the comment section there after reviewing the advice shared in the opening post. 

    Thanks,

    EA_Lanna
