Hey guys,
So I had a bit of an issue and accidentally deleted my Sims 4 folder. I restored it from my recycling bin, started the game up and it was like my game had completely reset itself. My mods and cc are not in the game and no matter what I try I can't get them back in. I have enable custom content and mods clicked in game, my resource.cfg is in the right spot... I really don't know what to do.

Hello
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 back the "options.ini" or "options " 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 that have the same name.
Don't put back the old mods folder. Instead, place your cc/mods into the newly generated mods folder. Then test to see if that helps.
If you are having other issues with your game, this link may help

You could also try recovering an earlier save game version. Go to the main screen of sims 4, and click on the " load game " button.Click on your save game file picture. Then click on the " recover game " button down the right hand side bottom of the screen,. Press on an earlier version of the save game from the menu that pops up. Then load that save game version and see if the issue remains

Hello
Did you place your sims 4 folder that you deleted, back into the documents- Electronic Arts folder ? Are you able to play your saves, or is it only the mods/cc that are not working?

Hello.
Are there two copies of the sims 4 folder now in the electronic arts folder?
If there are two sims 4 folders there, copy the mods that are in the mods folder in the second sims 4 folder, into the mods folder that is in the first sims 4 folder.
Then load the game and see if your mods appear. Your old saves and library items won’t be there also. Start a new save to check to see if your mods appear.

> Hey! @rosemow, I moved my sims 4 folder to my desktop and restarted the game, I noticed all my CC content was gone so freaking out I tried dragging the old folder back into the Electronic arts folder. I did this step due to a comment I read on a thread because some of my mods weren't letting me play the game. Now, all my mods are gone and I don't know how to recover them. What do I do? Is there a way to find them on my computer? I'm using a mac.

Hello
Are there no mods in either the mods folder in the Sims 4 folder that is in the electronic arts folder, or the mods folder in the sims 4 folder on your desktop?

There's no mods in either folders. There was when I first moved the original folder to my desktop but I moved it back after it regenerated a new one and then it just disappeared.
You may have lost your mods I am so sorry.
If you know the name of the package files of any of the missing files, you could try using the search bar on your computer to see if you can locate it.
Also, if you use One Drive, check to see if the missing mods may be there.

I'm checking One Drive right now. I'm not good at technical stuff, where in particular do I look for them? Script Editor?
Try looking to see if an extra mods folder has been created in One Drive.

I suppose when you click repair game option on the Origin, it will download the game again. If it doesn't work, you can try to uninstall the whole game and install it again. Folders should be then created again.
