so i tried this and nothing changed. is it possible some of the cc itself is causing this? ive never seen this happen. i would think that everything would stop working not just the newly dl stuff

Try searching using the search bar on your computer, to see if the game is using another mods folder instead of the correct one. Search to see if a second mods folder is somewhere else on your computer.
im not sure which one to go about deleting since i feel like the first two i listed are fairly important
looking thorugh the custom music folder i discovered somehow the mods folder got copied to it. i have deleted it and im going to launch my game to see if that was the problem.
haha i believe it was because when i deleted it all my recent locations i had been to in my "mods" folder disappeared along with all the new cc i DL which i think all went into the copied mod folder instead of the real one...im going to DL cc and see if the issue is solved.
thank you so much for your help Rosemow that was indeed the problem! i just downloaded some cc and it showed up! i have NO idea how the mods folder got copied to the custom music folder of all places but i didnt lose much and can find the cc easily again. youre a life saver!

Hello! I am hoping someone will be able to help me in regards to my custom content. I updated my game to cats and dogs. When I play the game, all of my CC work as far as beds, furniture, etc. The only thing that does not seem to work is the clothing in CAS. I've tried everything. I tried removing the mod folder and regenerating a new one and placing the CC in there and that doesn't work. I've also tried using sims studio and that does not work either. Is this problem happening with anyone else and if so is there a way to fix it? I would prefer not to try and go back and redownload all of them considering I have over 4000 custom content. :(

Hello @VillaMyNilla
Is the cas cc not appearing in your game? Try testing by just putting a new package files into the mods folder without them being in a sub folder and see if they then appear.
Right before this update, I encountered a similar problem. I installed some new expansion, game, and stuff packs and opened the game. I first noticed that I didn’t get a notification telling me I had cc and mods installed, then I noticed the load game icon was gone. Everything was where it was supposed to be in folders, but nothing appeared in game. Never got my saves back (about a year or so of gameplay) and I still can’t get mods or cc to show up.

I dragged the file to my desktop, But when i started the game, a new folder didnt generate . Help?
Hello @pllmate
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 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.
I've tried the new folder thing multiple times but no new mod folder shows up. I don't have that many cc either. I don't know if it has something to do with windows 10 or not. I've restarted the sims soooo many times and no success. I've tried downloading cc made after the update but still nothing happened. Also the mods / cc box now longer shows up at start-up. Any advice / help?

Having another issue, and cant seem to be able to post it ANYWHERE. I cant post anything but a comment. Must be being punished for not posting much anymore. Anyways, After the latest patch and get famous release my game keeps crashing when my sim picks a career. Only when she picks a career. I was having CC/Mod issues before hand, but i got that all figured out and was playing my game without issues, then decided to try the new styling career and as soon as its selected my game just turns off and I'm staring at my desktop screen. Tried this several times, then tried choosing another career and the same thing keeps happening. Other than this my game is running just fine. If anyone has any ideas please let me know asap. I haven't played in months and I finally have the urge to play and I cant. Its pretty heart breaking!!

If the issue remains, try moving your whole mods folder to the desktop. Delete the cache files https://sims4.crinrict.com/en/2014/09/delete-cache-files/
Then start the game and test to see if that helps the issues. If it does help, then put your mods/CC back into the newly generated mods folder in the sims 4 folder one by one or in batches and testing the game after each one to see which is the cause of the problem

I do have One Drive but dont know the password (its my mums computer). I also dont know how to unsync it either.
Try asking your mother to see if there may be a mods folder in One Drive that the game is using instead of the correct one in
Documents -Electronic Arts -sims 4 folder. If there is a mods folder there, you can either place your mods/cc into that folder, or you can unsync One Drive

It explains how to unsync One Drive in these articles. If you don’t want to use One Drive you can unlink it. You can still access other files that are in it, by going online. It would be best to read these articles.

Try first removing the mods folder from One Drive, then see if the issues remain. If they do, try doing what is suggested in the second article that I linked to.
