Mods not showing up

[crinrict]

@retrofloof Merged your post with the main FAQ thread on this.

Could you try all the suggestions on the first page.

Also be aware that a lot is outdated and needs updating with yesterday's patch.

[retrofloof]

I've read the replies and got the .rar files figured out and they work. But I'm trying to do what you've suggested in "Common pitfalls" with the .zip files and they don't show up. They show up when I boot up the game, but not the character creator screen in which some traits were supposed be there.

@retrofloof They might just be outdated.

Could you post a screenshot of your doc folder where you have these mods ? (make sure to remove any personal information form the screenshot)

[retrofloof]

Here.

@retrofloof Checked some of these.

The Mod from Kialauna hasn't been updated since Feb 2018. Doubt that still works

The Simslover one is also very old in it's MTS version but if you google kiarasimsfourmods you might find a more current version for that that hopefully works. Can't say if it's compatible with the current patch though

Any others you have issues with ?

[retrofloof]

I don't have any of the ones that don't work on there because I've uninstalled them for that reason. Basically it's the ones that have .zip file on them that don't appear in the game. Again, they appear on the start menu but not in the actual gameplay. I've done what you suggested in one of the older posts (which was to double click on the file and drag the package in the mods folder) and doesn't work. Also my settings are on for mods too.

The goal of the screenshot was to see if those that don't show up are installed correctly.

Zip files also need to be decompressed but as script mods used to be zip files a very long while ago, it's maybe why they show up in the list. Do they have them as zip or package files ?

[retrofloof]

Normally when I boot up the game they're now package files. But they're not showing up in the actual gameplay.

@retrofloof Can you post another screenshot WITH the files in, indicating which ones you have issues with ?

What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? Get Together, Vampires, Holiday Celebration
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Custom Content does not appear in the buy menu. When searching by name i can find the description and hotlink to the folder that it should appear in. The names appear in the mod list when enabling mods as well. **Mods still seem to function fine, and have been updated Custom skins and clothing still function. I have removed CC, added it back and removed again. Adding back only CC that HAS been updated, but even THAT CC does NOT APPEAR in the game.
What happens when the bug occurs? CC just missing
What do you expect to see? my CC. about 500 buy/build items that all appeared in the game until recently. Now I haven't been playing the game TOO often, so this could have happened after July.
Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? Not now. I've removed them.
Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? Yes
Please describe the patch or change you made. I believe the issue started with the lead up to Snowy Escape. But it could have started with the Journey to Batuu update?
