Mods not working after update... [SOLVED]

Check if they are ticked in Game options, advanced, There you will find twi blocks, one for mods, the other one for script mods. Both must be ticked.

When I updated to the 1.29 patch, I backed up all of the important folders (mods, saves, Tray, screenshots, etc.) and uninstalled the game, then deleted both the Documents/Sims 4 folder AND the Program Files/Sims 4 folder (the one the contains the ts4.exe file). Reinstalled and played the game vanilla for a while, then slowly added in basic cc like accessories, makeup, etc., then tested and played for a while, and then added the other items back to the game in batches (clothes, hair, object sets, etc.), then tested and added hacks, and finally Tray items and Saves. IF you have to reinstall, you can try this method, and maybe you'll be able to pinpoint the issue. It could be a rogue cc item or two that could be causing a problem, and even though you're adding them back in small batches it could be among those few.

Does the Game run smoothly without the mods? If yes, than you have to find it. Did you remove tray and saves file as well? In there the problem mod can be causing havoc as well!

Quick question: What mods are you trying to 'installed'? Perhaps I could do a test-run of it and see if it shows up? Just give me the name and I'll try to find it online if it's possible. Or I guess you could screenshot where you put your mods currently.


Also, the mods folder will automatically spawn in the Documents/Electronic Arts/The Sims 4 so you don't have to worry about that.

Where do you put your mods? Do you keep them in the Documents/EA/The Sims 4 or move them to the Progamsx86/The Sims 4 folder?

All mods/CCs should be place under the Documents/EA/The Sims 4. You did mentioned that the mod folder keep appearing even though you deleted them.   I'll try to download a random mod and see if it pops up.

Okay so I tested a mod, it's a hair mod though and it showed up in my game. If you have specific mod in mind, do tell me and I'll test it out. And of course, do keep us updated if you managed to get it working.
