Hi guys, how is everyone? 
Anyways, I just updated my game and when I started it up, every single piece of custom content had disappeared. Ugh this makes me sooooo mad I had tons of CC.....!! Is there any way to get this all back?? Without downloading every thing again? Its still all in my mods folder, but its not showing up in game! What can/should I do? Please help. Thanks!

There is a new feature that when there is a game update, mods/cc are disabled. This link explains about it,
http://help.ea.com/article/mods-and-the-sims-4-game-updates
Go to options and tick the " enable custom content and mods" button which is found in :
Options | Other | Enable Custom Content and Mods. Exit the game.
There has been many mods that have been conflicting with the game since the patch . After re enabling the mods go back to the sites where you downloaded the mods from and see if an updated version has been released or if other simmers have been having issues with the mods too.
This is a link to a thread that lists some of the broken/updated mods .

Hello @CraftyMaelyss .
I am sorry that you lost your folder of cc and mods.
Next time you update, move your mods folder to another section of the computer or to an external drive before updating.

Would you mind, since you've seen this more than I have (I'm sure), to ask SGMS (etc) why some simmers are having vanishing folder issues? And if they could give us a clue about where those torpedoed files end up post-update/repair, that also would be sweet.
How to avoid it, how to fix it... anything.
If you check on this, please tag me. I'd love to know more!

Hello @egwarhammer
The mods/cc files should not be have been deleted from the mods folder by the game when repairing the game or updating. I am not sure why it has occurred with some simmers, but there has been simmers that have posted that it has occured in their games.
The best precaution is to move the mods folder before updating. The simmers that have posted the issues, have had their files deleted when updating not repairing the game.
It is not good that it has occurred in some simmers games.

Have you tried pulling the CC out and returning it gradually, to see if there's a no-longer-compatible item causing the problem?
Hello @Muntzer
Did you perhaps save the game before renabling the cc/mods option and exiting the game? If you did, you would have saved the game with no cc in your homes. You may need to place the cc back into your homes, or try rolling back your game to an earlier version .These links explain how to do that.

Hello @SimSim27
Did you save the game before re enabling the mods/cc box and exiting the game? If you did, then you would have saved the game with your sims not wearing cc or lots not having cc items in them. If that is what happened, try rolling back to an earlier version of the save game file, before you saved the game.
These links explains how to do that.

I recently lost all my cc due to my friend accidentally deleting my sims 4 custom content. I had a folder in my mods folder to organize all of my cc. She went in one of those folders and deleted EVERYTHING. I checked the recycling bin on my desktop, but there is nothing. It says it's empty.
I don't know what to do. I had so much custom content clothes, and they are all gone now. When I went into the sims almost all of my sims were naked because they could not wear the custom content clothes anymore since they were deleted. I also got a pop up saying that I do not own the item anymore?? Someone please help me, I just want to know if there is anything I can do thanks:(
Hello @Dailey_loops
I am sorry that you friend accidentally deleted the folder in your mods folder that contained your cc
Or did you ever make a back up copy of your sims 4 folder, which would have a back up copy of your mods folder in it?
If you don't have any back up copes or don't have the cc that you downloaded in another place on your computer , I am so sorry. You wil need to redownload the cc again.

Hello
Just to make sure again, 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 .
If the issue remains, 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" 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.

Hello
Is there certain cc that are not appearing, or are no cc items appearing in your game?
Try moving your 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
If you have the cc in sub folders, move the package files out of the folders and place them directly into the mods folder. Then see if the issue remains.

I hope that it helps.
Also try downloading some cc from a different website and see if that cc appears.

Hello
You are unable to remove an update when it has been applied.
If you saved the game before enabling the cc/mods though, you can roll back your save game to an earlier version.
These links explain how to do that.

http://forums.thesims.com/en_US/discussion/783120/how-to-roll-back-your-save/p1
Your cc/mods though need to be appearing in the game for them to appear in the earlier version.
