ok so I am either missing something here or.... I don't even have the 'other' option - it´s simply not there... any idea whats going on with my game? :(
hey . i can see most stuff i download but not skins and presets . also i dont have the package extension in my mods folder . what should i do
The CC show up in the little window when I open the game but I do not have them or just two in the actual game when I want to use them on my sims
Okay so I have no clue what’s happening but I redownloaded my game multiple times and each time it doesn’t even HAVE a mod folder with it. So I don’t even know how I would try to regenerate one when my game never downloaded with one in the first place. Please help !!!
@Darielle i have my mccmd center and it shows up on the list in the game but when i go to click on my sim toon it doesn't show up so i don't know how to get it to pop up like i've asked my mom's daughter to help which she did tried to delete it and to re download it to put in the mod folder but it still doesn't show up when i click on my sim toon 😕
and the thing is i used it yesterday perfectly fine to revive people that turn into ghosts even the pets aswell and i like makin them to be young again but i was wondering if you could help me please? 🙏
It shows at the start up but, when I get into my actual game it doesn't show. Also, whenever I play with a cc sim, I get an error code but, when I play with a non cc mod, it's fine. What do I do?
me too :/ None of my new cc will show up in build mod or CAS, but it'll show up in the mods list when I first start the game. I've downloaded all new mods too :/ correct folder and all.
I'm having the same problem :(
i thought it was jus me …
Same.. for some reason my newest CC just doesn’t shop in game
maybe because you guys need to update your game, i had the same problem but i updated my game and the cc showed up
literally have been going NUTS trying to figure this out (i had script mods in a subfolder) and am thrilled I found this. 11/10
Ahhh, I'm beyond happy I could help you! Thank you so much, hope you have a wonderful day!!
Can you tell me how you fixed it? I’m having the same problem
@@kayleeharlow1285 just take the mod out of the sub folder and place it directly into your mods folder then delete the sub folder after
@@5kelequinn i did this yet it’s still not showing up? do you have any advice or know where i should look for more info?
@@karalynn2601 do you have a thing downloaded for zip folders?
Despite you saying it was the easiest issue to fix. I have been trying for hours to get a single mod working on my sims, absolutely nothing is working. Ive gone over everything: The file types (My mods are all packages and script files no Zips), the CC and script options in the settings (it has been saved properly), there's no sub folders only one mod in the mod folder for testing (its is up to date) restarting and starting again and again, making sure it's in the right mods folder (It is, there's no doubt about it) I tried downloading wicked whims and when I thought that might be too complex to deal with I got a simple eye colour package to test it, still nothing, I even tried to repair the game in Origins. I feel like i've exhausted every last option and i'm sick of playing vanilla, I use a mac btw.
I am literally having the same exact issue. I’m genuinely tired
same here
sameee
literally me too at this point i’ve just given up
It's the same for me. All of sudden things don't work. I've been working on it for hours now
Basically what I got from this is that I’m TOO organized 😂 thank you so much
Ahahaha, you made me laugh 😂 that's truly the least I could do for you! I know that not having all cc organized can be difficult, but I think it's way better to have them be functional!
Sending lots of good thoughts your way!
girl u saved me after 2 years of posting this
Sending lots of good thoughts your way!!
Thank you THANK YOU! I had the "no mods showing" issue after last patch, and renaming my mods folder to OLD then starting and quitting S4 to let it create the new resource.cfg file fixed it! What a relief. :D
So glad this fixed your issue! That's what we'll have to do from now on whenever we notice this problem (it usually occurs when a patch comes out)! Hope you have a nice day 🤗
@@Darielle pleaseee help even after i renamed it, made sure no origin game was playing, opened it up and closed it, no new Mods came up
@@gracejansen527 @Grace Jansen heyy! did you rename the correct folder? the one included in your documents?
the reason why it's not working might be the fact that you didn't have mods & cc turned on previously. so you can rename it back into 'mods', open your game, enable mods and cc, apply changes, exit your game & then rename it once again.
Open your game & your new folder should pop up
My mods are enabled and I have everything done correctly as it normally was, but it's saying my folders and the mods themselves aren't syncing, when there would normally be a green checkmark next to them. Anyone know how to fix that?
OMG thank you so much for posting this!!! It finally worked!!! I didn't realize I had two mod folders and downloaded everything in the wrong one 😩😩😩
You're most welcome, I'm genuinely so glad it did the trick for you 🥺
I had the Same problem😅
For the past week i have been strugeling with this and you saved my life! Thank you so much!
Your comment put a smile on my face, I'm so happy I could be of help! Hope you have a nice day!
OMFG YOUR A LIFE SAVER,IVE HAD LOADS OF MISSING CC FOR 3 YEARS,ONLY BC I DIDNT TAKE THE PACKAGE FILES OUT OF THE ZIP FILE!! ILYSMMM TYY
Ayyyy, such amazing news! I'm genuinely over the moon I could help you outttt! Hope you have a great day! 🥺❤️
Thank you so much for uploading this! I am finally able to play with my mods with your help! ♥ Ended up needing the resource file... :(
You’re so welcome, I’m genuinely so grateful I could help you make your mods work in the game 🙏 glad you figured everything out, hope you’re doing well!!
Do we enjoy the baby update? Hope we do!!
Thank you so much! I just got The Sims 4 and im a noob when it comes to computers and I didnt even realize the folders I had were zipped, I didnt even know you could do that! Tysm!
I didn't know that either when I first started out, the thing is we all start from somewhere, right? And that's the least I could do 🥺 thank you for stopping by & hope you have lots of fun simmin' 😁
omg i literally love you, thank you! i didnt know why my mccc didnt work and i have tried to figure it out for so long. i tried to tidy my mods so i made a file inside the mods folder, and put the mccc there. i didnt know that would ruin anything. thank you thank you thank you
Ayyy, you just made my day! That's the least I could do, hope you're enjoying playing Sims! Have a great day! ❤️
So where should we put the mcc?
None of my cc or mods show up. And I’ve done everything that you’ve suggested. They used to be there just fine. And I know that after an update you need to re-enable them
Hello there! I'm so sorry about that! Well, you'll have to update your mods as some of those might not be compatibile with your game anymore, so please make sure to check out this post: forums.thesims.com/en_US/discussion/990224/broken-updated-mods-cc-may-27-june-29-2021-patch-es
In regards to mods/cc not showing up in the game, I have some more tips that might help you: czcams.com/video/emXMcXqWt4I/video.html
Definitely let me know how it goes!
SAME I KNOW YOU NEED TO REANABLE THEM.
did u find out how to fix it?
If anyone's situation is like mine. You might have a game file stored in your OneDrive and the game is looking at that one when it boots.(Even though I deleted it and unsync'd it months ago.) After reinstalling the game, it went back there anyway
Thank you sooo much you don't know how long i have been looking for this i was about to give up but I found you and the mods worked thank you so much!
Thank you so much! I had no idea what was going on, it took me hours to try and figure out what the problem was. Looks like someone (me whoops) must have accidentally deleted the resource file in her mods folder.
I'm so glad you sorted this out, such great news! Hope you have a wonderful day! 🤗
OMG TYSM! i was going insane because my mods weren't working and i realized i enabled my mods this whole time!!
thank u soo so much :)
You're so so welcome, I know how frustrating that can be. Hope you have a nice day ahead!!
Okay so question what if your old mods in CC are working just fine but when you try and put new ones in they don't show up at all even when you're putting them in the mods file with the other ones
Hello there! So one thing I'd try in your case is to reset the Mods folder.
Here are the steps that you need to take:
1. Rename your Mods folder in Mods old (make sure you're renaming it with your game completely closed)
2. Open your game
3. Close it straightaway
4. A new Mods folder will pop up
5. Put in this new Mods folder your new mods/cc first
6. Open your game and see if those show up both at startup and in your actual gameplay
7. If so, you can close your game and then copy your old cc from your old Mods folder to this new Mods folder as well
If you still encounter the same issue after putting those old ones in, there might be some corrupt/problematic cc and you can try the Better Exceptions Mod that basically tells you what mods/cc need to be deleted from your Mods folder (I have a vid on this here: czcams.com/video/WncYhAAtKcM/video.html)
Let me know if it helps! 🤗
Thank you so much! I had 2 mods folders and that was the issue. If anyone sees that they have 2 mod folders just drag the one that doesn’t work to the one that does, which will copy all the stuff you found on the un working folder to the working one. Then there you go, it should work! :) If you can’t tell which one works, at the search bar it should say “documents > electronic arts > the sims 4 > mods”.
Good tip! Thank you so much for sharing, I appreciate it a whole lot!!
I hope you have the best time ever simming ^^
I actually love you so much this helped me a lot
You just helped me from restarting my whole sims because half the mods/cc I got won’t show up 😭 but I think I know what I did wrong now HHAHA life saver!
hey, can you help, i transfered my sims 4 and Ea location as i was redownloading them from c drive to d drive and created a file called program files where sims 4 went but i cant even see the mods folder, the tray, saves and others it shows me other things but when i tried playing it yesterday i dont know how it located the old mods folder i transfered to my usb, i literally dont kno what to do, helppp
THANK YOU SO MUCH, like I tried so hard to make this work but you where the only one who could help to thank you!!!!
Thank you so much! I have encountered this issue several times just to re-install everything again and I finally found out how to fix it!

OMG THANK YOUUUU!!! the first one literally saved my life:))))
You're so so welcome, sending lots of good vibes your way! 🤗
At first my MC commander wouldn't show up in the actual game. It did however show up in my mods list right at the beginning of the game. I was going crazy trying to figure out what wasn't working. I removed ALL of my mods except the MC commander, it still wouldn't pop up in the game. Turns out I was inserting the MC COMMANDER in a subfolder, I put it directly in the created mods folder and it worked. THANK YOU SO MUCH!
Thanks for sharing this with us!! Subfolders can also make cc not show up, so it's a good thing to keep in mind, I'm glad this vid helped you!!
Wishing you all the best & have lots of fun simming ❤️🙏
Thanks! This really helped me out! :D
I'm always here to help! Your comment made my day brighter! 🤗
Hello, what happens is that I have downloaded mods and one of them is "Severinka's healthy food", even this mod is on the Curse Forge page but when I entered the game the mod did not appear where it should appear
Hey there!! Did we make sure to unzip the file before putting it into the Mods folder? Does it end with zip or rar? If so, we might need to either double click on the mod & copy and paste the files that are inside orr we can use a program called winrar to open that file with it and then extract the files to your main Mods folder
I truly hope it makes sense 🙏 do let me know if I can help you further!
Thank you for this video. I was confused because my sims 4 game was installed on my D drive (I changed the location), so I was trying to put my mods folder there as well. I moved my mods folder back to the location you mentioned at 1:36 and it worked!
So glad you got it working!! 🙏
My game showed up the mods, but when im gamig its not working, why? :(
for some reason some rars download to TTMP2 and PMP files instead of the package or ts4 etc files... how do i make them work??
I have the problem that i enable cc and mods and turn on everything i need, after i must restart the game and it turns off, and its always the same, i turn on them, restart the game, and it turns off. What should i do?
how do you know which mods have to be not in a subfolder bc i have so much stuff and i don’t want to delete everything bc it took so long
omg i am so happy i found you mine hasnt been working after watching you it helped! thank you!!!
Ahhh I’m so grateful you stopped by to say hi & that this worked for you 🙏
Happy to hear that & I genuinely hope you have lots of fun simming!!
im currently trying to put the sims dating mod in my game and it doesnt appear in game (even though some other mods appear :() does this issue relate to how my current sims is the latest patch (i have horse ranch dlc and social bunny)
Hi! I have an issue. I downloaded new cc last night and it shows up when I first load up the game. But once I enter CAS or build mode, no new cc shows up. All my old cc works just fine. I don't know what to do. I even reset my sims 4 folder and my mods folder but that didn't work either. All my new cc are package files and they are all in my mods folder correctly. All my new cc is newly uploaded cc from TSR as well. I'm not really sure what to do. My old cc works just fine but my new cc does not! Can you give me any advice?
Hello there! Did you make sure to put your cc & mods files in the right folder? That should be Documents/EA/The Sims 4/Mods (so make sure not to copy those into a completely different folder, there's only one Mods folder tied to the game).
Does your Mods folder have that resource.cfg file? If it doesn't include that file, your mods/cc might not show up.
If your mods/cc have a zip/rar extension, you should unzip those first and then place those unzipped files in your main Mods folder (don't use subfolders).
Make sure to properly enable mods, Script Mods and cc within your game options & apply changes.
Do you also use an antivirus? If so, make sure it's not blocking your Sims 4 app (to avoid that, please go to the allowed apps & Exclusions sections and add your TS4 folder as well as your TS4 app in there!)
After following all these steps, you should be able to see all of your mods & cc in game, as well as in CAS (you can also go in CAS > click on that little arrow > filter by custom content and see if your cc show up!)
Let me know if you need further help!
@@Darielle hello! I did all of this and my new CC from today still won’t show up. Its listed in the start up menu but isn’t on CAS
i downloaded a zip file compression and i'm not sure what kind of file to convert my zip files.. which one would work best? (Tar, Tgz, Wim, Arj, Lzh) i'm sorry if this is confusing but those are the options i have lol. i just got the game yesterday on my computer :)
No worries! Just download Winrar and you should be able to open any zip/rar mod that you download! You just have to select the files included in that archive and simply drag & drop those into your main Mods folder! Let me know if you need further help!
Tysm!!! This saved my life because I live my mods but I couldn’t see them and this help me so much ❤❤❤
Glad I could help! 🙏🙏
5:08 TYSM FOR THIS TIP, i havent had mods for like 2 years because i tough it was imossible to get mods because no one else shown this tip before, but now my mods work againk and im so so so so so happy THANK YOUU
🙏🙏🫶🏻🫶🏻
Dude u are literally a life saver! Thank u so so so much for this video u genius beauty!!! Thank u!!
i have wicked whims in my game and it worked perfectly but the other day when i played sims again and i clicked on the floor for example than the wicked icon doesn't show up anymore.does that happen to anyone?and my healthcare mod doesn't show on the sim's phone when i want them to go to the doctor.all my script mods shows in the game too.
Hi there!! If you did update your game, did you also remove our WW mod that you currently have in your Mods folder, download & place the updated version in there?
If that does not seem to be working for you, you can also try to reset your Mods folder, I'll lay out the steps so it's easier for you to follow!
1. Make sure you have mods&cc enabled in your game > close your game
2. Rename your Mods folder into Mods old (but keep your Mods old folder bcs we'll need it later on)
3. Open your game & close it straightaway
4. A new Mods folder should pop up
5. Copy all of your cc (but no script mods!!) from your Mods old to the new Mods folder
6. Download the latest versions for your script mods
7. Put your script mods into your new Mods folder
Sending lots of good thoughts your way! 🤗
So l have all the packs and l try mods but it won’t show up even tho l allow the cc mods and l have two sims so one is s4 with all the pack the other one is the sims 4 has no packs so what do l do?
Hi, I already knew everything you’ve said but I still watched through the end just in case if there’s something that I didn’t know, but there weren’t. I play The Sims 4’s Legacy Edition and ever since I had to play with the Legacy Edition most of the CC that I’ve downloaded simply does not show up in my game (even though they show up in the custom content list). My game is always up to date and I double-check the CC that I downloaded if they are too and I always downloaded after making sure yet most of the CC that I downloaded just doesn’t show up in my game. Could it be because I have to play with the Legacy Edition because I have tried everything yet nothing changed. Thanks in advance!
Do you happen to use an antivirus program? If so, please make sure it's not blocking your EA folder / your Sims game. You can avoid that by adding TS4 & your Electronic Arts to the allowed apps & exceptions sections
You can add the same exception for your TS4 within your firewall
Let me know if this works!
@@Darielle I tried this with big hopes but my antivirus program already didn’t block The Sims 4 and while I was at it I also scanned my Sims 4 folder just in case there is any virus related issues but there wasn’t anything. 😢
Are those cc new? If those are kinda old, there's a high chance that your cc are not compatible with the current version of your game. You can try to identify any potential conflicting/broken/incompatibile cc or mods by installing the Better exceptions mod. Unzip it, put those unzipped files into your Mods folder, open your game, run a compatibility test and a browser page should show up. There you should be able to see all the potential script mods & package files that are causing you game issues and, therefore, need to be deleted from your Mods folder! Lemme know if this works for you!
@@Darielle Hi, I just tried the better exceptions mod but it didn’t find any broken mods/cc. Everything seemed to be just right with my cc. I don’t know what else to do. 😩
@@levibaby2375 same exact thing happens to me!

6:19 is it important to go online? Bc I've done all the steps and I'm sure it's correct, but idk why or how, my laptop is connected to my WiFi but the game always shows that I'm offline and won't connect 😭 therefore my mods don't show up.

Hey there! Are we sure that the cc and mods enabled remained ticked even after closing the game?
If we re-open the game, are those still enabled?
Are we also sure that we're renaming the correct Mods folder (the one inside your Documents/Electronic Arts/The Sims 4 folder)? 🤗
Mine is still not working
Every time it says that it keeps disabling and I have check for outdated mods
Tysm!Ive really been wanting realistic gameplay ever since i got the game.Ty again :D

K so, recently i had to move my Sims into my E drive bc of a storage problem on my C drive. I have all my mods in the folder on my E drive but they're not showing up, How can I fix this?
Okay so the question is: did you move your Sims 4 app (or reinstall your game onto a different drive) to your E drive or did you move the entire Electronic Arts folder to your E drive?
So basically:
1. You can have your Sims 4 app installed on either one of your drives
BUT
2. Your EA folder must be located into your Documents folder in order for your game to recognize all of your mods, families, saves in the game
So if you choose to move your EA folder onto another drive, you'll have to change your entire Docs' folder location to that specific driver if that makes sense!
To do that, you can right click on your Documents folder > properties and there you should find an option that lets you change its location!
Hope it makes sense, but def let me know if you have any further questions :)
THANK YOU 😢😢😢 OMG I FINALLY UNDERSTOOD WHEN YOU MENTIONED THE SUB FOLDERS 😢😢😢OMG IM SO HAPPY
Ahhh I'm genuinely so glad you fixed it! Everybody's gaminnnn' hihi :) thank you for letting me know, hope you have the greatest time playing sims! aaand happy holidays ^^
I’ve followed so many tutorials on how to get the resource cfg file but none have worked :(..Would I have to reinstall the game entirely? I would but I’m not sure if it’ll backup the sim families I have on there. 😢
Resetting the Mods folder always does the trick!
1. Turn on cc & mods
2. Apply changes (if those do not apply, i have a fix for that czcams.com/video/ejP49zTg7FM/video.html > close game
3. Rename the Mods folder into Mods old (keep the Mods old folder in your TS4 folder) - do this with your game completely closed
4. Remove these files from The Sims 4 folder: localthumbcache & gameversion (this way we remove any temporary corrupted mod files, similar to getting rid of cache!)
5. Launch the game & close it rightaway
6. A new Mods folder should appear in TS4 folder (make sure it has the resource.cfg file inside!)
7. Copy all of your cc - clothes and furniture - (but no script mods or functional cc, things like life mods, restaurant mods etc) from your Mods old to the newly generated Mods folder
8. Download the updates for the mods (if there are any! If there are not, we gotta be patient a bit & wait till those updates get released🙏)
9. Place your updated script mods into your newly generated Mods folder
This really helped thank you, i've been trying to do this for weeks
Sending lots of good thoughts your way! 🙏
ur videos are so nice and organized
Thank you so much, your comment sweetened my day! 🤗
I've redownloaded the sims for the first time in a while and am trying to transfer over my huge folder of mods but they won't show up at all :( I've tried the "Mods old" trick but my game doesn't generate a new file at all. Any tips?
It’s still not working for me.😭
I tried to do the “Mods old” that you did and it’s not recreating a new mods folder. Any idea what I’m doing wrong?
Hi there! Sorry to hear that! Did you rename the correct Mods folder (the one included in docs/ea/ts4) ? Also, did you open your game & then close it straightaway?
i have tried everything but nothing works and now my sims dont work i really need help im desperate :((
Does your Sims not launch at all? First things first, make sure to backup your whole entire EA folder (and don't Touch it, you'll just need it in case you ever experience game issues, but keep in mind that it'll only include the saves you've made up until this point). Have you tried taking out all of your mods? Then you can repair your game through Origin and see if it makes a difference for you.
If that doesn't work, you'll have to follow the tips mentioned in here: czcams.com/video/-pCFvTcqQnQ/video.html
Definitely let me know if this helps!!
I'm not sure what happened on mine tho, the game updated and when i opened, it disabled my mods/ccs. After enabling it, game is requiring to restart. But when I restart it, it's disabled again. So I had to enable, restart it, showing disabled again. I always make sure to click on save changes but it doesn't look like it's saved. I've also repaired the game via EA. idk what to do
can you help me. i downloaded cc for build mode and it’s all there but when i go to place some of my cc it’s only green and black instead of the right swatch color. only some of the swatches work.
Did you make sure to update all of your script mods after this patch? Have you also made sure to place your cc in your main Mods folder (not in subfolders)?
I have Mccc and whicked whims both show up on the mods list but the option not show up on conversation bar. How to fix it
I have a similiar problem- my mods show up on startup but not in the actual gameplay. Let me know if you find out how to fix it!
Hey there!! Can we try to remove the current ww mod & install the update for it (considering we’ve updated the game)?
Also, did we unzip the file before putting it into the Mods folder (you can do that by either double clicking on that file & copying the files inside and pasting them into the Mods folder or by using a program called winrar > open the file with that program > select the files > drag and drop them into the Mods folder)
Let me know if it works!
So we have to copy it to our mods folder, we can’t physically move it from downloads to that folder?
Thank you thank you thank you sm it took a long time but I got all my mods back because of this video 💜💜
I'm so happy for you! Have the best time simming! 🤗❤️
Yep, putting it in the right folder is really important!
It truly is! Happy New Year to you & your loved ones! 🤗🎉
@@Darielle you too, thank you!
what do i do if i name the mods file "mods old" but when i open the game and exit right away there's no new mods folder? HELPPP I EVEN TRIED TO UNINSTALL AND INSTALL THE GAME
me too
i dont get it-
this really helped, thanks!!
You're so welcome 🤗
Can you please help meee. I downloaded wicked whims and it’s not showing in the game. But it is in the mods folder and it’s not in the any sub folders. The wicked whims show up in the list of mods that pops up at the beginning of the sims log in, but it just doesn’t show up when I play the game.
i have the same problem with it. it shows up in the mods pop up but when i get into the game it says that the script file is missing, i have no idea if i did something wrong.
@@rreki7830 ok so I got it to work. What I did was put i make sure every single wicked whims file is deleted then I downloaded it back and extracted it before putting it in the mods folder. Make sure you get all the extracted files in the mods folder . Hope this helps 🤍
My mods are not in the cc section and instead in the script mods section, is that an issue or normal??
If it’s an issue can you please help if possible?
It’s normal for mods to show up in cc if:
- they end with package (.package)
It’s NOT normal for mods to show up if:
- they end with RAR/ZIP/7ZIP
In the second case, then we need to unzip the mod in order for it to work properly 🙏
@@Darielle
Oh thank you! I fixed the issue and it appears in script mods now!! 🫶
That’s amazing 🙏🙏
What if I have my sims 4 + mods folder in my external drive? Is that the cause of them not showing up, because I have the sims 4 and EA games separated?
OMG TYSM THIS WAS SO HELPFULL
You're very welcome, friend! Happy New Year to you & your loved ones! 🤗🎉
Can you help me? When I download the mods and cc the show up in the custom content box but not in Create A Sim. I dont know whats happening but its very frustrating. Thx 💛
Hello there! Did you make sure to put your cc & mods files in the right folder? That should be Documents/EA/The Sims 4/Mods (so make sure not to copy those into a completely different folder, there's only one Mods folder tied to the game).
Does your Mods folder have that resource.cfg file? If it doesn't include that file, your mods/cc might not show up.
If your mods/cc have a zip/rar extension, you should unzip those first and then place those unzipped files in your main Mods folder (don't use subfolders).
Make sure to properly enable mods, Script Mods and cc within your game options & apply changes.
After following all these steps, you should be able to see all of your mods & cc in game, as well as in CAS (you can also go in CAS > click on that little arrow > filter by custom content and see if your cc show up!)
Let me know if you need further help!
@@Darielle omg it worked! tysm for helping me!! 💛
I'm so gladddd!
Hi! Sorry for disturbing you but I have an issue. All my mods and cc was working fine and then one day when I was downloading some cc and I went into the game none of the cc I downloaded showed up. I only had the ones from before that. I was trying different cc one at a time to see if it was only an issue with the ones I downloaded but none of them showed up. I was doing the same thing I always do so i don't know why all of a sudden it stopped working. I could really appreciate the help and thank you in advance. :)
omg the exact same thing happened to me last night!
@@joliegruson5090 tell me if you figured out how to fix it!
@@gvs1975 i was just being dumb and accidentally dragged everything into my trash folder😭
@@joliegruson5090 Oh 😭😭
Did you find out how to solve this issue?
My mods folder never spawned even tho ive played before. I tried to create a new mods folder but i dont know where to put it so that my mods show in game 🤔 (i play on windows btw)
The mods folder should be in the documents/electronic arts/the sims 4 folder
If that mods folder is not there, you can reset the whole entire EA folder (so keep this current one as a backup) & get another one with all folders where you can place all of your saves & mods there
For some reason, my mods still don't show. It shows in Sims I have it but when I create a sim, my mods don't appear. My mods are recent and are packages but they still don't show. I've done everything, I turned on CC and script mods and reset my game many times. I'm not sure if its because I have a Mac but please help
i’m having the SAME problem. i followed instructions correctly and it won’t show in the game. cc works but not wicked whims…
Gotcha!! We can try to reset the mods folder this way ^^
Here are the steps:
1. Make sure you have mods&cc enabled in your game > close your game
2. Rename your Mods folder into Mods old (but keep your Mods old folder bcs we'll need it later on)
3. Open your game & close it straightaway
4. A new Mods folder should pop up
5. Copy all of your cc (but no script mods!!) from your Mods old to the new Mods folder
6. Download the latest versions for your script mods
7. Put your script mods into your new Mods folder
Do let me know if this works for you 😊
Thank you so much you made my day ❤
Grateful to be of help 🙏
I tried to make a new mods folder by the way shown because i didnt have the resource file, but the new mods folder did not come up. Do you know why?
Yess, the Mods folder won’t show up unless the script mods enabled & cc stay both ticked within your game options (so make sure you enable those > apply changes > exit the game)
Then rename the mods folder into mods old
Open the game > make sure those mods & cc options are still ticked
Exit the game > the mods folder should pop up
- the
Make sure it’s the right mods folder that you rename (aka the one in Documents/EA/The Sims 4, not into an onedrive folder)
Can someone tell me the name of this type of issue what’s the study ? Like for example data rec or something like that ?
So if I take up the rest of the space on my C: Drive, and I'm trying to move everything to my D: Drive to save up space, I still shouldn't be touching my mods folder, etc? I redownloaded the game onto my D: Drive and that helped a ton with space, but is that all I have to do?
It's always best to have your game installed on the drive that has a lot more space, so that's great! But in terms of your mods and stuff, keep in mind that those ones are located within your Documents folder and if you right click on it, it should say that it's located on your C drive, right? There is actually a way to transfer your Documents folder to your D drive, I have mentioned this in a video about 'how to make Sims 4 run faster', but can you please tell me what your issue is exactly? None of your mods are showing up or just a few of them?
im super confused ive done what you said but in the folder a red x showes up by it and idk how to fix it
Is it because you haven't uploaded it/backed it up within Onedrive? This should not bother you at all. Let me know if you need further help!! 😊
My mods show in the startup notification, but they don't show up in the actual gameplay! Does anyone know how to fix this? I've put it in the mods folder etc, and the game registers that they're there but they're not in the game at all. Please help!
Ohhh Thank you so much.💖🥺 ILY❤️🔥💗
You're mooost welcomeee! 💗💗💗
thank you!! this video helped me so much!!
That's the least I could do for you, seriously!! Thank you for letting me know it helped, sending all of my good thoughts your way 💗
When i un zip folder it just comes like download for torrent and i try it says error
Hi! Can you please help me my version of sims 4 is old and I downloaded cc and it shows up on start up and in game options but not in game. In game options it dosent have custom content it only has non-script mods and scrip mods, does that mean I cant hav cc?
It only says view mods
Are you sure that the specific cc you've downloaded is compatibile with your game version? Some cc will also require you to own certain packs and so always make sure to check out the descriptions of those cc. Did you enable mods, script mods and custom content in your Sims 4 (you should tick those 2 boxes in your Options > Other tab)?
Did you place all of your cc in your main Mods folder (don't use subfolders as some won't show up at startup)? Do you have the resource.cfg file in your Mods folder?
@@Darielle I fixed it I ended up downloading an updater and I updated it and it fixed it!! But originally it didn’t even have 2 bixes to tick it looked very different than everyone else it just said veiw mods and it had scrip mods and non scrip mods when I clicked on it. My sims 4 is cracked so that probably why
i have a problem where i have mods and cc enabled but the actual mods pop up doesn't appear at start up, i do have stuff in my mods folder btw and it is in the right place help me pleaseee
also, i did get a new computer but the same account so my files are still their, its just after i downloaded sims again on my new laptop, nothing is showing up even when options are enabled idk what has happened
Here’s what we wanna do ✨
1. Make sure we don’t have any files that end with rar/zip (if we do, then those files need to be unzipped either by double clicking on that zip/rar file (Windows 11/MAC) and copying the contents into the Mods folder or by using a program called Winrar - just open it - drag your rar/zip file - double click on that folder - select the files inside - drag them into your Mods folder)
2. Make sure we have all cc & mods placed into the main Mods folder (like this Mods folder > blouse.package and NOT Mods > Clothes folder > blouse.package)
If we have them organised into subfolders, then put all those cc into the main Mods folder (copy+paste)
I know you’re organised but the thing is sometimes the game won’t recognise the file if it’s not put into the Mods folder 😃 I like to have them organised too, but sometimes it doesn’t work so we gotta try this
If this doesn’t work, then we can try this!
1. Enable custom content & mods
2. Save changes (if those do not save, i have a fix for that czcams.com/video/ejP49zTg7FM/video.html > close sims 4
3. Rename the Mods folder into Mods old (keep the Mods old folder in your TS4 folder) - do this with your game completely closed
4. Delete these files from The Sims 4 folder: localthumbcache & gameversion (this will get rid of any mod temporary files, similar to getting rid of cache!)
5. Open the game & close it rightaway
6. A new Mods folder should pop up in your TS4 folder (make sure we have the resource.cfg file!)
7. Let’s copy our custom content - clothes and furniture - (but no script mods or functional cc!!) from your Mods old to the new Mods folder
8. Download the updates for the mods (if there are any! If there are not, please try not to put outdated mods🙏)
9. Place your updated script mods into your newly generated Mods folder
Truly hope this helps!
Ever since the update from origin to ea my mods folder is just gone and so is electronic arts in my documents. I keep going back to the game to see if they will come up, but it hasnt. Please help!
Yes please help! It updated me from Origin to EA and now I can't install any new mods! Some show up, but most don't.
@@ozzymadnius I honestly had to delete everything 😭 and by everything I mean sims and the ea app too. But I ended up finding that my computer created another documents folder hidden in my folders. It was in the last place I ever thought to look
@kiokosalaam8059 I found it actually created another EA folder without me knowing! And that one had mods but it wasn't connected to the game? So now I put it under the Electronic Arts folder and hope it works!
Hi! So was there a video that had antivirus not allow mods to work? This happened to me before. Could you help me send the link to your video? I can't find it
Sure! There you go czcams.com/video/emXMcXqWt4I/video.html
omg thank you that was driving me nuts!!
TYSMM!!! i went crazy tryin to fix my mods :(( but i came across ur vid and helped me FIXED THE PROBLEM :DD tysmm!!!
🙏🙏🙏
UR LITERALLY A LIFE SAVER I LOVE U.
🥺🥺🥺🥺
sometime my cc shows in start up but, when i go in game it doesnt show any mod? or if i download a huge cc pack it ends up in script mods and doesnt show up in my game
Then you can try to:
1. Place your cc into your main Mods folder (don't use subfolders)
2. Unzip your cc (only if it ends in zip/rar) & put it into your main Mods folder
3. Reset your Mods folder > just rename your current Mods folder in Mods old > open the game & close it straightaway > a new Mods folder should pop up in your TS4 folder > put all of your cc & mods in there
Also, make sure that you did enable mods and cc within your game! Let me know if I could be of help!
@@Darielle ty it worked!
@@fiona5313 you're most welcome!
This worked thank you so much!
You're so welcome!! Hope you have a nice day! 🤗
ive tried all of your videos over this stuff and nothing is working! i dont understand whats wrong :( it always does this after a update
5:23 I have 4 of this and idk whether to delete them or not. Also when ever I place my mods folder on my desktop and open the game it never makes a new one
i tried to make a new folder like u suggested (renaming the original "mods old" and quitting the game) but it wont work? no new. mods folder shows up
Did you rename it with your game closed (and even with all apps closed)? Did you rename the proper Mods folder (the one located in Docs/EA/TS4)? Then make sure to open your game, completely close it and the new folder should appear
I accidentally placed my ea app in the bin. I took it back out but then my PC said that the EA App had sync problems so I uninstalled the ea app ( along with the Sims 4 ) and reinstalled everything. I placed my mods in the mods folder like before but now nothing shows up. I've tried everything I can think of, including redownloading my mods but they still don't show up.
I’ve done everything to get my CC to show up in game and everything I did that you did that was supposed to make a second mods folder pop didn’t make the second folder pop up and the resource.cfg file never showed up when I did what you said to do and it just never was in the games folder to begin with, I really want to play my game with my CC but I’m so close to giving up and uninstalling it because nothing is working to fix the problem and I’ve watched so many videos and googled so many things and none of it is helping and idk what to do about it 😢
