    Hello
    As you are unsure why it occurred to start off with, it is a little hard to know how to prevent it ocurring again. When downloading cc, don’t download it directly into your mods folder. Download it into a separate folder first,

    Hi... I repaired my game because it wouldn't start, and none of my custom content is showing in-game, but it's still in the mods folder... I've un-checked and re-checked enable cc and mods, deleted the sims 4 and mods folders and reinstalled, and I'm not sure what to do. Help please!

    Hello @samanthak632
    Do you use One Drive? If you do it could be causing this issue, Try seeing if there is a mods folder in One Drive . The game may be using that mods folder instead of the correct one in Documents -Electronic Arts -sims 4 folder. One Drive can cause issues, It would be best to unsync One Drive and Sims 4.

    If you don’t use One Drive, try using the search bar on your computer , and search to see if there may be another mods folder on your computer that the game is using instead of the one directly in the sims 4 folder.
    Some simmers have found that a mods folder had been incorrectly generated in their custom music folder. Check all the folders there as well.

    Ok so, I need help. I have two computers that i play the sims on, an older one which can only run the base game, and a new one that is able to run the game and tons of custom content with it. Just yesterday i started to transfer cc via usb to the newer computer. Earlier i was sorting through it and organizing it into files but i never finished so i was transferring those folders first and planned to move the rest of what was still in the mods folder after. But when i opened the folder nothing was in it. All of the files that were left in there were gone and i couldnt find them anywhere on my computer. Do any of you know where else they could be?

    Hello
    If you use One Drive try seeing if the cc files may be there. Try also using the search bar on the computer to see if you can find where they may be located.

    Hello,
    After the new update (January 11),
    all of my outfits in-game (that included CC) has been removed and reset from my sims.
    So basicallly I have a TON of naked sims :/
    What puzzles me is that the CC IS in the game and Furniture CC is working just as before...
    Do you guys possibly know why would such thing happen?

    Tedious but it seems this is increasingly necessary.

    I always cut and paste the Mods folder outside of the Sims folder, launch and quit. This way it puts up a new, vanilla Mods folder into Sims 4 folder. ----Then I put it back in after a launch-and-quit post-patch. Never had to re-enable mods or CC.

    Of course "that was then and this is now". Each patch starting with the one that prepped the game for Pets seems to dig increasingly deeper into the game programming and as a consequence the game won't run your mods and CC whether you set them aside or not, every time they issue a patch. .

    But as a precaution keep a copy of the Sims 4 folder outside of its usual location so at least one doesn't lose their families or saves in the bargain.

    Of course as far as I am concerned I'm fine with the game, as modded, before Pets, have no interest in whatever they're doing now and so I run the game offline as it was before the pets prep patch. Once I'm tired of playing the game, well, I'll be tired of playing the game and I'll move on.

    * * * *

    They've not really come up with anything new thus far that bakes my bread.

    But Hey, That's Just Me.

    Hello @crazyminx
    I am sorry that you are having these issues. Try moving your whole mods folder to the desktop. Launch the game, and a new mods folder will be generated. Exit the game. Then put your mods/cc from the old mods folder into the newly generated mods folder and test to see if the issues remain.
    Make sure that there is only one resource.cfg file in the folder .
    Try marking the filter in Cas to show custom content only, and see if the cc appears then.

    Hello
    Some traits were broken by the recent patches. Check to see if the cc version is recent, as the ones you have installed may still be broken if they were created before the patches.

    @rosemow hello. I noticed that my game wasn’t opening so I repaired the file and then when I opened the game ALL THE CC ON MY SIMS 4 HOUSEHOLD WAS GONE. I disabled and enabled the cc box MULTIPLE TIMES BUT NOTHING WORKED. I uninstalled and restalled it multiple times IT DIDNT WORK. I repaired it MULTIPLE times it DIDNT WORK. I’ve tried recovering from older saves where they DID gave clothes in but they DIDNT WORK. MY SIMS NEED CLOTHES because they are walking around naked with no clothes. And no my mods are NOT in the one drive. Please please please help me get their clothes back on their bodies. Please help me :'( :'( :'( :'( :'(
