I was playing the sims 4 on wednesday night. My mods and cc were functioning properly. When I attempted to play the sims the next day, my game had reset as if I as playing for the first time (I am using the PC version downloaded from origin). It shows that I've logged 125 hours in game, however, all of my saved files were gone. I attempted to start a new file, but my cc isn't showing up in CAS. My game is up to date, all my files have been upzipped and placed in my mods folder in sub-folders. I have enabled cc and script mods in game options. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling the game. I have a resource.cfg file. I have removed my mods folder and replaced it. The game doesn't even register my cc. There is no cc showing up when I click the view custom content button in game options. I have repaired my game and checked for updates. The cc is all working and was usable 2 days ago. What's going on with my game?
Hello @nattygirl13 .
Are your save game files still in your documents -electronic arts -sims 4 -saves folder?
Yes there are several files showing up with time stamps for the past few days.
The autosave file may be causing issues. Go to your save folder in Documents -Electronic Arts-Sims 4 folder and move the slot_00000001.save file. to your desktop. That is the autosave file. Then launch the game. Go to the load button ( the one with the floppy disk image) in the main screen in the game, and see if you can load one of your game files. If you can, then play the game and see if it is working okay.
If the load button isn't there, then start a new game and play for a little while. Then save the game. Come completely out of the game. Go back in again, go to the load button and try to see if the save game files are there then,
Hello nattygirl13 If you are able to get back your missing save games, then test to see if your cc is appearing then. If you still have issues with it not appearing,try resetting your sims 4 folder and see if that helps. To do that, move your sims 4 folder ( that is in Documents -Electronic Arts - then the sims 4 folder is there ) to the desktop. Then start the game, and a new sims 4 folder will be generated. Exit the game and then add back the "options.ini" file and the "saves" , "screenshots" "tray" "custom music "folders from the desktop sims 4 folder to the new sims 4 folder, replacing the new generated file/ folders with the old file/folders.
Don't put back the old mods folder. Instead, place your cc/mods into the newly generated mods folder. Then test to see if the cc appears then,
I followed the instructions you gave. I wasn't able to retrieve my older save files and my cc and mods are still not available.
Hello
Are the older save files still in your saves folder? Or are they not there? If they are there, did you try rolling them back to an earlier version?
With your cc and mods, try downloading a new cc item and see if that appears in your game.
Try also checking again that the enable cc /mods option is ticked in game options. Sometimes the game resets the options.
If your cc are in subfolders, try testing with them out of folder, just placed directly into the Mods folder.
If the issues remain, try going to documents -electronic arts -sims 4 folder and move your options.ini or options file to your desktop. Start the game and go to game options. Enable cc/mods and script mods. Then exit the game. Go back into the game and see if your cc /mods appears.
the cc I download doesn't show up when I open the Mods folder to see what cc is working it doesn't show up at all but it is in the mods folder and in no compressed folders! please help

Go to game options and check that the " enable custom content and mods" button is ticked, which is found in :
Options | Other | Enable Custom Content and Mods. If it isn't ticked, do that.Also check that the script mods allowed button is ticked as well. Exit the game. Then go back into the game again and see if the cc appears then .
Hello! Sorry if this isn't the proper place to post this.
I seem to be having troubles where some of my CC isn't showing up for my aliens in CAS, specifically makeup. It shows up just fine for my humans, but hasn't been showing up for my aliens (some I downloaded just for my aliens to wear ).
I've been trying to find a solution and have tried updating and repairing my game, and went into Sims4Studio to see if everything was checked (which it was).
Has anyone else been having this problem? Is there a solution?

Hello
Could you please post the name of the cc ? We can then look at information about the cc on the download page and try to help you.
You can't use skin details for aliens in CAS.

Hello @adrablunacy! I saw where @Rosemow tagged me (Thank you, btw!) and so I took a look at the CC you are having trouble with. First, I looked at the Stellar Stuff Pack. Unfortunately, the makeup is not for aliens. The tattoos are and they work. If you look closely at the tags in the pictures, the makeup is only on humans. Sorry.
Second, I would recommend sending an ask to weepingsimmer on Tumblr. When I downloaded the items you specified, one of the Speckles was set as a default and showed up on every alien I tried to make. However, I could not access the swatches or change the Speckles in any way. I noticed that she updated for the June patch but, I know there have been all kinds of glitches since the August patch.
If you are not on Tumblr let me know and I will be happy to contact her for you!

Ooohhhhhh, I see, I see. I s'pose I just sorta assumed that the Stellar Stuff Pack, the makeup would be for aliens as well (especially with the preview pictures, but looking again, they look to be hybrids). Whoops, silly me. U.U;
I did send weepingsimmer a message a day or two ago when I noticed they weren't showing up for my aliens. They haven't responded yet, so maybe if they don't, I'll send another one in a couple days? Would that be terrible/rude to do?

Hello @Bricebrighton86
Welcome to the forums
If the cc came in a zipped folder or a rar file, the package files need to be taken out of the zipped folder or extracted out of the rar file, and placed into the mods folder.
Check to make sure that the files are for sims 4 and not for sims 2 or sims 3.
The downloads look like pieces of paper with the item name and the word package i'm familar with Zip and Rar files as have used previous when playing some 3 and all of the dowloads were from TSR website.
Tbh it is the 1st time i have used used CC for sims 4.

Hello.
Try moving your mods folder to the desktop. Then start the game and a new mods folder will be generated in the sims 4 folder. Exit the game. Then put your cc back from the desktop mods folder into the new mods folder in the Sims 4 folder , and see if the cc appears then.
If the issue remains, the cc may have been broken through a game patch. Try downloading and installing a different cc item and see if that cc appears.

They all say they're enabled for aliens, and the last CC stuff pack is very alien, so I just don't know.
And just to mention, with the alien stuff pack, everything else shows up for the aliens, just not the makeup.
(How I wish aliens could use the skin details, so many would have freckles in my game >u>)
