None of my cc shows up and I’ve tried deleting and redownloading it multiple times. They’re in my mods folder as package files, I don’t even have them in folders. I have mods and cc allowed in the game. Does anyone know how to make it show up in my game?
More User Perspectives
Do you have a video like this for Mac?
@kbuchiha-p5Since The Sims 2, I've always wondered if there was an easier way for the mods folder. Since they encourage us to mod the game to our liking.
@jynxy2485Can we send EA to hell already
@NoahintheRainThanks for this!
@user-jx5bk1tv5whow do you get back ehem.. a file you forgot to back up, mayhaps it was the resource .cfg
@SilkieswayCan I just pay you to come to Georgia to set mines up 😂
@CurtiaTia2UPlease if you have a chance to answer the cc furniture it have to be downloaded only if is the latest version of the game? I can’t barely find any with this latest version 🥴😭
@KarinacuevsDo I have to pay to download Mcc command?
@KarinacuevsThank you!!! this helped alot
@evi3977None of this worked it never showed a mod folder rip
Are the files broken???
thank you for this vid! I've always wanted to mod the sims but thought it was going to be difficult... this makes everything super easy
@peyneustTy so much I love you so much I so excited yayyy 🎉🎉🎉
@Aisha_lovesrobloxI've been searching for a video like this for DAYSSSS ! Thank you so much I feel finally safe enough to download CC lol
@AmandineTavernier1:50 this actually makes no freaking sense 😭please can you lik explain how to do that?!
@ThewickedaliennThe mod list checker thing is hurting my brain 😭
@suetyhareI do not understand the “scarlets realm” mod tracker thing. What do you mean by chose the mods u have? None of my mods are show. In this long list of random mods I have never seen before in my life???
@KaitlynHalpin-z7chello, im doing this on steam so im not sure if i need to do extra steps but i cant find the EA folder in documents or in the files
@sylviiryThis was a great video! Very detailed and thoroughly explained clearly. I’m new to Mods & CC’s on Sims so, this was easy to follow. Thanks so much for making this video ☺️🤍
@virgoanbeautydo you need to update custom content or just mods
@allylarsen8404You are amazing, Thankyou 💐🫶🏾
@mhdmn72Not sure if it will help other users, but if you got the game through steam like I did.
Do not select 'go to files' to find and add mods. Even if through steam it is still through Electronic arts and NOT your steam library
Idk what I’m doing wrong bc I added the mods in the game and it shows that I did in the startup, but whenever I actually load into a save none of my mods or cc is showing in the actual save
@purpleheartsxooyou are an angel thank you so much
