I had a bunch of old cc, so I deleted it to download some new stuff but the old cc still shows up in my game, even if the mods folder is empty. And when I disable/enable mods it says “restart game to take this effect” but I can’t tell what I’m supposed to do. If someone knows how to fix this please tell me!

Is there anyway to do this while retaining CC clothing, accessories, and build mode items? It seems as soon as you start up, it immediately disables the mods. When you re-enable and restart then load your game, you get a message that Maxis cannot locate 137 clothing accessories and 19 build items which have been removed from the game… Then you have 280+ half naked Sims and dozens of broken homes to fix… AFTER EVERY SINGLE PATCH, UPDATE, or EXPANSION/STUFF PACK INSTALLED! It’s pretty darn ridiculous actually.

Is there any way to set this as disabled by default? It seems like EA and Maxis are really attempting to bring an end to the modding community by making it such a labor to play with mods that it isn’t even worth the headache…

OMG I FINALLY FIGURED IT OUT!!! Ok so what u need to do is go on to your sims 4 game and click the three dots in the top corner, then go to options. Now click other and make sure there is a green check mark beside enable custom content and mods. After u do that make sure u click Apply Changes in the right corner. Once u have done that, exit your game to your desktop(your home screen) and hold your power button until your computer shuts off. When u do this u are restarting your computer, but u will not lose any of your data. After your computer turns off wait a moment to turn it on again. Now go back to your sims game and play like how u would! Your mods and custom content should be there! Hopefully this helps u guys!!

For those of you that update the game to the latest. DON’T FORGET TO UPDATE YOUR MODS AS WELL. If you don’t update the mods, or they weren’t updated by the content creator, then you either need to not update your Sims 4, or play without the mods. You run into the same problems with other mod-able video games as well. To restart any PC video game, normally, you just close all the way out of it, back to desktop, then relaunch the game. (Worst part about mods is they don’t auto update with the game, lol. :P)

Hi! I’m a huge fan of the Sims 4. Recently, (around July 14) I started looking at videos on Youtube, seeing that people have CC (custom content). I decided to go to TSR, which is a site that promotes CC. I downloaded some makeup (eyeliner, lipstick) and those were my very first two ccs. I went onto game and saw a message that said Maxis does not pre-screen/support mods, and to enable at my own risk. I did so. I applied the changes and went off the game and back on. The same message popped up. I figured that I didnt apply changes, so I did it again. Same message. I’ve searched EVERYWHERE to see if anyone has the problem like me. I’m starting to wonder if it’s because I have the game installed on my secondary drive?.. Does anyone know how to fix this? Thanks!

I think they finally allowed cc back into the game. I went like I think a year with out it.

EA told me that they removed the ea folder from documents because people would download cc and it would effect their game. So ea got tones of complaints. So they removed it.

But I said, that is was fair on others that know how to remove those cc item that effect the game.

They told me that a lot of people had complain that not having cc was issue for them.

I also asked for toddlers, pets and if they could make an online option for can play with friends. Haha

You may need to check for updates. I downloaded my via origin.
