    Would you mind sharing a link or listing the contents of one of the files you've downloaded?

    Have you verified that you've extracted only the files and that they weren't extracted to new folders within the Tray?

    Check that there isn't any subfolders in your tray folder. The files need to go directly into the tray folder.

    Do you have a lot of decor in this house? Do your sims in this house have a lot of things in their inventories? Are there a lot of things in the household inventory? I have lag and/or freezing if I have too much "stuff" in a house or inventories. Check and see if deleting the household inventory or personal inventory of sims helps.

    You are welcome, sorry I couldn't help you with your problem. May I ask where you got this mod from and are you sure it has been updated to work with the latest patch?

    In case i have to delete the mod,can i anyone think of a way to gather sims at one place the easiest?
    I need my sims (14 sims) to be at one place without going anywhere,and only do what i tell them,so that i can record videos ::(

    update,i just test again,maybe my game is broken, actions which are set after canceling the first action won't be done,and actions which are set while pausing the game won't be done too :(

    Hello.
    Move your mods folder to the desktop. 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. Put one item in , test the game , take it out. Then test another one, to find the cause of the issue.
    If the game works correctly without the full house mod in your game, then remove it because it is the cause of your issues. Test other cc/mods that you also have in your game.

    Hej again, I was just over at MTS and sorry to say but this mod has not been updated since Dec 2015, if you read the comments from the last few months some people are reporting that it is no longer working for them or doing weird things in their game, so I think it's safe to say that this mod is kinda iffy to use. It may not be working properly so maybe after you tried to import your 10th sim it borked out your game. Is this the only mod you have in your game?

    hi, not sure if anyone will answer this... the thread seems a bit old. All of my cc was in my mods folder, no subfolders. I opened S4TI and no households or anything appeared. I went to this thread and moved all my cc to the tray, but it still doesn't work. help?

    CC will not show up in the tray folder as this folder is for houses and sims you have downloaded or taken from the gallery. Is your CC not showing up when it's in your mods folder? Have you enabled your mods and script folders after you updated your game?

    Hello @kaila2276
    Is the cc households? If it is, the files need to be in the tray folder, without any sub folders. If there is separate cc package files. they are placed in the mod 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 .

    Also, go to the gallery, and in the advanced section of the filter select the option to " include custom content ".

    Hello, thank you, the CC is back, but now i have a much, much bigger problem. None of my households are there! None of my lots are placed in the worlds... Everything was set back to default. All my households have been deleted. Please help! I tried repairing my game and that didn't help either.> @rosemow said:

    Hello @kaila2276
    I am sorry that you have these issues,
    Make a back up copy of your saves folder and place it on an external drive or other section on your Computer
    Then 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

  • kaila2276kaila2276 Posts: 8 New Member
    @rosemow AAAAA THANK YOU! Everything is fixed and I can continue with my game.
  • kaila2276kaila2276 Posts: 8 New Member
    @rosemow whoops im back! After having success with what you suggested, the game is yet again acting up. Last night, I played my game for a while, and everything was fine. This morning, I downloaded some custom content, put it in the mods folder, and started my game. My game then only launched to the loading screen. I removed the recently downloaded cc, and it still didn't work. I looked up solutions to my issue, and it recommended uninstalling origin, so I did. It's back on my computer, but all my files are gone, again! I don't have an option to load a save file like last time. Everything is gone.

    Are there no save files in your sims 4 saves folder ? If there isn't any there, and if you use One Drive, see if a backup copy of the saves folder is in Onedrive. Try doing what is the first suggestion in the link article.
  • kaila2276kaila2276 Posts: 8 New Member
    @rosemow I don't use onedrive, unfortunately. I guess my files are gone forever. I've tried to download file recovery software but they're all super expensive. I guess I'll just have to start over :(
