    this truly sucks, my mods won't be enabled after the patch. I did everything like have always done, after a new expansion or pack or update. I exit after I re-enabling my mods. go back in the game and no it didn't take. Yes, I updated all of my mods. This suckS!

      try moving your mods folder to desktop, run your game (make sure it's not in offline mode), in main menu re-enable your mods and cc (without your mods folder), apply changes and exit, it will generate a new empty mods folder with a new resorce.cfg, copy your mods and cc from the mods folder in the desktop to the new mods folder generated, and run the game

      Also delete the localthumbcache file in your Sims 4 folder. It should be deleted every single time you change something in your mods folder, whether you add, remove or update. Your game will generate a new one when you start it up.

      Also try patching the game from Origin.

      Thank you for your tip. I recently had to take the Pufferhead pack out. My game has been glitchy. I didn’t know you had to delete that file each time but I’ve made a note. Cheers! 👍

      Now alternating between Sims 2,3 and 4! 😊☕️🌞

      I thank you for your help, but sadly it isn't working. I will try again maybe a miracle will happen. This is breaking my heart, I don't like sims without my mods. This has literly never happened to me before.

      Try this:

      Go to Documents>Electronic Arts>The Sims 4 and locate the gameversion file, open it with for example notepad and check what the gameversion is.

      If it is not the current gameversion for the May 27th patch (which should be 1.75.125.1030 for PC or 1.75.125.1230 for Mac) change it to the current version and save. Now the game should enable your mods.

      I'm having the same problem with mods not staying enabled. I tried the game version trick and it doesn't work this time because it's fine. Deleting the localthumbcache doesn't work either. I'm seeing there may be an issue with antivirus programs but doing what they said hasn't fixed the problem for me either. I'm going to miss MCCC and All cheats.

      Oh no, is the Pufferhead pack borked?

      Don't you have to wait for the Creators to update their mods?
      If you don't have anything nice to say then don't say anything at all. Live in your Truth.

      That’s probably it. I think this update was so big that many creators are having to update files. It’s just annoying.

      I deleted the localthumbcache as well. Hopefully everything will be back soon. 🥺

      This happened to me a couple of patches ago. Here is how I fixed it -


      Try moving the following file to the desktop: documents\electronicarts\thesims\options(.ini)
      These are all your options. Start the game and reset them to what you want. Then close down the game and restart again.
