So I get that EA has chose to disable mods and cc for updates. When I start my game, the notice pops up letting me know that my game has been updated and that all CC and mods were disables. It also states that I can re-enable them at any time through the options menu.
I went into my options menu, re-enabled my CC, and then restarted the game as prompted. When the games restarts, the same disabled mods notice pops up every time.
I have:
- repeated the process
- removed all CC from the mods folder and put in a little at a time
- uninstalled and reinstalled Sims 4 completely
- removed all previously dowloaded CC from my game and installed new CC that is supposedly recent and "up-to-date"
It happens every time no matter what.
Is there a way around this? Or a way to maybe remove the most recent update and go back to the base? I am completely fine with how my game was running last time I played.
Solved! Go to Solution.

Try resetting your user files as described in the factory reset described in this post: http://answers.ea.com/t5/The-Sims-4/FAQ-Troubleshooting-Steps-amp-Known-Issues/m-p/3621199
You won't loose anything. Just make sure to not delete any files and make a backup.
Try on a new game with nothing added back first (start new game). If it works, put back your save game and try again. If it still works, you can start putting stuff back.
The rest does not need putting back, cause they are mostly cache files that recreate or log files that are not needed for the game.
Good Luck

Try moving the following file to the desktop: documents\electronicarts\thesims4\options(.ini)
Then start the game. All your settings will be reset to default so you need to all set them again but hopefully they will then stick.

Just make a copy of this folder: documents\electronicarts\thesims4\ to your desktop or any other place on your hard drive

I too tried this and it worked like a charm. It also solved another problem that had been ongoing with my in-game pictures showing up black. While this is a long process (as my game tends to load slow), it was worth the work! 12/14/2018
