Since the latest update even after ticking the Mods in settings, every time I re-start Sims4 the Mods are still disabled. If this cant be fixed I will have to stop playing the Sims. Some mods were my own creation. Sick to death of updates upsetting game settings, in other games and apps too.

Thank you so much, sorry I missed this elsewhere, going to do this now and I really appreciate you posting this so very much.
I tried this more than once, even took pics of the steps this last time and it is still not allowing mine to enable, and it is still reverting all of my settings back to different than I need them
I read somewhere, I can't remember where...that it could be your security settings. This is difficult to explain, especially since I am not a native english speaker, but if you are on windows, can you right click on the options.ini file, go to properties and then go to the security tab? You should have allow for all the users that are listed there, if you don't then you need to re enable it by going to edit.
Also, make sure that you don't have any files in your configoverride folder.
Apperantly, avast antivirus could be the cause as well, according to crinricts twitter.
Thank you and you do a great job with English btw I will try this, i actually use Webroot but will try I thank you so much for trying to help me. My gaming laptop has struggled to work and Ive been trying to use my husbands 10 year old Asus but it was playing it and mods any CC if I wanted ( EL disabled for now) and I almost cried thinking after my husband already did a whole reset on mine and I lost all of my work, all my games, that I wasnt gonna be able to at least play on his. Will see if this works, thank you again! You are very nice to try to help me, thank you
It still will not work on my husbands computer, I dont know what happened because I had been able to play the game (with the exception of EL as I have disabled) until that patch yesterday, really frustrating because I guess now I lose all of those games now since it will not let me keep my settings as I put them. My Omen gaming one (the one that was losing charge tho plugged in and crashing if I tried to play a game) seems to be keeping the Mods and Settings, so I guess its just something I have to figure out with my husbands laptop and find out why his wont, thank you so much for all of your help, it worked on the one, just not the other so thats a computer issue, thank you! Have a great nite!
Yeah went thru a year of doing that before my laptop started having issues, didn't gave any on my husbands until yesterdays patch, thank you
Repairing the game did not the trick. But I realized that the GameVersion file in my Documents folder were not the same as the real game version.
If you have the same problem, check in Documents>ElectronicArts>TheSims4 et find the GameVersion file. Open it, and see what number is written.
Open you game. Check at the bottom of the home page of your game. If the game versions are different, change the one in the file you opened just before for it to match the one written in your game.
Thank you so much!!! I finally got a chance to try this on my husbands laptop, and tho I had done this patch and the previous ones it was actually a totally different Game Version Number in the documents than what the game said. It is now registering not just mods but saving settings. I cannot thank you enough!!!!!!!
I have tried this by deleting the options.ini and changing the line in the file, but this time it makes no difference, still mods disabled.
Here are some other suggestions that have worked for people:
Try a game repair (origin>right click on the game in your game library>repair)
Check to make sure that you have full access to your user folder and that your antivirus is not blocking your changes. https://answers.ea.com/t5/Technical-Issues-PC/CURRENT-ISSUE-Anti-Virus-blocking-User-Folder-Screenshots/td-p/9572695
Check to make sure that you don't have incompatible mods, try the 50/50 method where you move your mods away from your mods folder in order to find the one or several ones that need updating.
Other Simmers have said that Avast is doing it too.
> Hey, can someone help me? I'm having an issue with my mods where only the ones that were in zip folders and then unzipped are showing in my game, none of my others (mainly .package, one .exe) are showing at all and it's really frustrating :(
Also, if it helps, I'm currently using a MacBook Pro laptop.

1. TS4SCRIPTs cannot be no more than ONE subfolder deep. That means that TS4SCRIPTs can only be placed in Mods and Mods/(Name of any folder directly under Mod. (i.e. [Mods/Script] will work but [Mods/Override Mods/ModName] will not work)
2. All mod packages can be no more than 5 subfolders deep from the Mods folder (Default Rrsource.cfg)
Make sure you check where mods are located.
