Sims 4 mods/cc enabled but won't show up - please help

[Magnecent]

Hi there! my name is Magne. I have an iMac and have tried everything under the sun to get my mods to load into the game. I downloaded the base game for free on the EA website a while back, and instantly started downloading mods. I was on this website few months ago where someone helped me with the technical side of mods and I realised I was putting the mods in the wrong place and I needed to put the mods in the same folder that the game was reading which was; users<documents<electronic arts<sims 4<mods. I even swapped my files from iCloud onto the local drive to sort everything and noticed progress as my mods would finally show up at the start up of the game. However, even though the technicalities of the iMac and mods folder and enabling custom content and scripted mods were all fine and sorted, the game still will not load in the game despite showing up in the start up. 

I have tried unzipping all folders that needed to be unzipped, I have followed the correct path folders that the game was reading, I have enabled mods in game option, I have moved all mods to local drive instead of iCloud/onedrive, i have checked to see if all the mods I want to download or have downloaded are up to date and I have checked game properties on origin to see if anything there could be hindering my mods from working. Nothing seems to be working! I was thinking maybe it has something to do with the fact that I got this game for free directly on the EA website?

Help me please!!

thank you.

@Magnecent  Please list your game version: load the game to the Main Menu, where you can choose to load a save or start a new one, and look along the bottom of the screen, or in the lower-right area.  Please list the entire version number, i.e. 1.xx.xxx.xxxx.

Please also post a screenshot of the contents of your Mods folder, as in, I'd like to see the mod files themselves.  Put Finder in list view (three lines with bullet points, second option from the left) before taking the screenshot, which you can do with cmd-shift-4.

@Magnecent  That looks fine, but please post a screenshot of the contents of the Mods folder as well.

hi , attached is what's in my mods folder. I only have one thing at the moment because a while ago I was annoyed and deleted everything. this mod I've downloaded however is new and was updated February 5th of this year but it still won't show up in the game.

@Magnecent  Try taking the file(s) out of the folder in the screenshot, and make sure all the files end in .package or .ts4script.

Attached to this is what's in the folder of the mod I downloaded. It ends in package and script and also shows up at the start up of the game so I think with the mods itself there might not be a problem. For some reason its just not loading in the game.

Could it also be that iMac no longer accepts mods on sims 4 game? Is that why everything I've ever tried just doesn't seem to be working no matter who helps me?

@Magnecent  So if you put those two files directly into Mods, the mods still don't work?  What if you download MCCC or a mod by TwistedMexi: does it work in-game?

If MCCC or TM mods don't work, please create a new admin account on your Mac.  Don't link it with your iCloud account at all (you can skip that step), and don't import any user settings.  Launch the game once in the new account, then install one mod (again something like MCCC or a TM mod, so we know it works overall) and see whether its interactions show up.

If that mod doesn't work either, please let me know what operating system your Mac is running.  Mods do still work, but some OSs have additional security settings that need to be tweaked.  And if you use a third-party antivirus, please let me know which one.

Hi. so I downloaded a mod directly off TwistedMexi. It's the full house mod where you can add more than 8 members to your household, it also ends in t4script so it should be good. However, all it does is it shows up at the start up of the game but isn't working in the game. How do I check which operating system my Mac is running so I can see if there are additional security settings that are making my mods not work?

thanks.
