Why can't I install custom content for the sims 4 on my pc

@dovesofafeather

Make sure you are following the steps provided to install said custom content to ensure it functions properly. We can't really help much more than that, possibly the creator of the mod themselves might be of more assistance. The mod itself might not be compatible with the game anymore if it's come out before the latest patch. 🙂

If you're copy / pasting them, then don't do that. Stop. Here's how it'll show up in the game:

.package files:

1.  When your custom content shows up in downloads, right click the file and select 'Cut'.
2. Then go to the 'Mods' folder (Documents> Electronic Arts> The Sims 4> Mods).
3. You'll see a file saying 'Resource.cfg' is already in it, but don't delete that! You need it for custom content to show up in your game.
4. Then right click and select 'Paste', and your cc file is now in the game.

FOR .zip FILES:

1. Right click on the zip file and select import. (My zip file looks like a purple book, a blue book and a green book tied together with a brown belt)
2. After clicking import you'll get a mini screen saying 'Import to' and a list of places to import it. Import it too your desktop.
3. Go to your desktop and there'll be a couple of .package files there.
4. Right click the ones which you think are your cc and select 'cut' again.
5. Paste them into the 'Mods' folder.

Hope this helped!

me too. I accidently mixed up my mods files,sims 4 files and ea files and they are all copied. I tried to delete them and some deleted some didn't. I'm pretty sure my files are all organized now and I tried to download cc and it just didn't show up in the game.
