    Halp! i have downloaded a few mods and i just don't seem to understand what to do, so, i downloaded TS4MM (The sims 4 Mod Manager) and manually input the mods i've donloaded, when activated it puts them in C:/users/Me/Documents/TS4 Mod Manager/Mods. now when i launch i get a notification box that shows i've installed mods and allows me to check/uncheck them, when in game i can go to Options/other and check Activate scripted mods, but i can't actually seem to access any of them in game, does anyone know what i'm doing wrong?

    Hello @XTheXDoctorX
    These links explain about cc and mods
    http://www.carls-sims-4-guide.com/tutorials/mods-cc.php
    http://simswiki.info/wiki.php?title=Game_Help:Installing_Sims_4_Package_Files
    http://sims-online.com/install-mods-custom-content-sims-4-tutorial/
    .

    If the mods are cc, make sure that you have extracted the package files out of the zipped folder or the rar file, if they come in zipped or rar formats. The package files then go into the mods folder.

    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 it is script mods that you have installed, check on the download site for information about how to install the mods.

    Hello
    Try going to the Sims 4 folder and moving the “ options.ini” or the “ options” to your desktop. Then load the game and see if the issues remain. You may need to go to game optiions and enable the cc and scipt mods settings again.

    I'm having a problem. There are no objects showing up in the game. I moved a sim in a furnished house, but nothing is in it. I even traveled and the lot I went to had no furniture in it. I deleted my Sims 4 documents folder and I don;t know what to do.

    Hello @Simmies329
    If you have cc/mods in your game, move your mods folder to the desktop. Then start the game and see if the issues are still there.
    Try entering build mode on the lots and see if the furnishings are there.

    Try starting a fresh new game and see if there is furniture in the homes in that save game.

    Repairing the game may help. To do that, go to games library in Origin, right click on the sims 4 picture and click repair

    Hello
    I am just checking. Make sure that you have extracted the package files out of the zipped folder or the rar file, if they come in zipped or rar formats. The package files then go into the mods folder.
    Try placing the package files directly into the mods folder without being in sub folders.
    Don’t keep the zipped or rar folder in the mods folder. Just keep the package files in the mods folder.
    Try redownloading the cc and see if that helps.

    Hello
    Try removing any filters in cas, and see if the cc items then appear.

    Do you have the required EP/GP/SP ? For instance I downloaded a vanity table that didn’t show because I didn’t have « vintage glamour stuff » and the mesh was made from one of the vanity tables.

    well I have the cc in my mods, not in other folders I go on the game nothing pops up for mods then I checked the game options and it says "view custom content" and nothing is there. as I said the cc is in the mods folder not in a locked folder just the white things so I don't really know how to make it work :/

    Hello @omgitslily08
    Go to game options and check that the " enable custom content and mods" button is ticked, which is found in :
    Game 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 .

    Make sure that you have extracted the package files out of the zipped folder or the rar file, if they come in zipped or rar formats.

    Try moving your whole mods folder to the desktop. Launch the game, and a new mods folder will be generated in the sims 4 folder.. 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
    Doing this tests to see if the game is using the correct mods folder or not.

    Hello @Emmitaylor
    Try moving to the desktop the “options” or “options.ini” file that is in your Documents-Electronic Arts -Sims 4 folder .
    Then start the game, and a new ”options” or “options.ini” file will be generated. Go to game options, and tick the " enable custom content and mods" button which is found in :
    Options | Other | Enable Custom Content and Mods. Also tick the script mods allowed button.
    Exit the game. Then go back into the game again and see if the cc appears then and if the enable custom content and mods box remains selected .
