Custom Music Folder Missing from Documents > Electronic Arts > The Sims 4

Pink_Uniqueorn wrote:Hi, 

I hope you are well. So just as the title suggests, the Custom Music folder is missing from the game folder in Documents. I really need it because I have to put a few files in there (required by a few mods and CC I have).


Thanks,

Hello again,

If tuning into a radio station in-game (doesn't matter which one) doesn't make the folder show up, try creating one yourself. Tip: tune briefly into every available radio station in-game, and then exit. Normally the folder "Custom Music" and the subfolders should be there.

Which problems when starting up the game...?

Well, first of all, thanks for asking. Second of all, terrible, terrible problems! I have no idea what is even causing them. I mean, the short answer is that mods/CC are causing them, but it is not some specific CC or mod. I have done the 50/50 method a thousand times but I am not able to track anything down specifically. Every single time, it is a random mod or CC. Then a few days later, it is some other mod or CC. My Mods folder is honestly just losing every single mod and CC one by one.

I was thinking... perhaps maybe alpha CC  is causing this? I mean, I really am no expert when it comes to computers and softwares and other stuff related to that, but let's just say my PC is great for anything but gaming. I have heard that alpha CC is not the wise choice for PCs that do not do well with games, so I just thought of it as a possible explanation. I used to play Maxis-match for a while, until recently when I decided I wanted to do the whole realism thing. I do not remember exactly when my game had problems starting up, but it was after I decided to go alpha.

Oh, sorry to hear. But since I don't really play The Sims 4 anymore (yes, really) these days, I'm afraid I cannot really help much with mods & custom content issues.    On occasion I still fire up The Sims 2 & 3, but not really 4.

But from my general experience I can tell that sometimes "combinations of mods" are the key. So instead of taking individual mods in/out one-by-one, maybe you have to put them in certain groups. So all mods of a certain group must be taken in/out, not just individual pieces of mods. I know it's difficult to explain in words. But maybe check out the sources of where you download the mods from. Usually creators will give further information on which mods "belong together" or related issues.

Sorry I can't really help more here.

It is all right if you can not help much, but I appreciate the help that is given.

The way I group my Mods is that I have three folders in the Mods folder: Objects, CAS, and Build Mode. Now their names are pretty self-explanatory, so let's just say that out of these folders, CAS has a bunch of subfolders (for example: one for hair, other for clothing, other for accessories, and so on). Now for script mods, I place them in a folder and then put them in the Mods folder. For example, let's say I downloaded luumia's NoGlo mod. I would put the mod's files in a folder titled "luumia - NoGlo" and then put the folder in the Mods folder. That is basically how my Mods folder is structured.

Again, it is fine if this is not your field. I will try what you described, but I will also post about my issue in the official Sims forums, thanks.

If you need to ask for help on other sites/forums, make sure to NOT mention that your game is pirated. Even if they ask you...just say that you have bought the game on Origin. Most (other) sites don't like it when people pirate the game.

The_gh0stm4n wrote:I mean, yes, it's always important to make sure that the mods you use match the game version of your (pirated) game. And if there is a new patch out, it will come out on Origin first. Basically it's worth waiting a little while with grabbing new mods, during that "intermediary period". When the new cracked patch is out, then patch the cracked game. Grab the new mods, etc. But you probably know all that already. 

In that context I'm not sure what information can be derived from these last exception logs. As said, if you make sure that the patch version of your game is compatible with the mods you use, then everything should be fine already.

And it's not just that Discord. Basically all these American-based "social media platforms" entertain the same mentality: Facebook, Twitter, Reddit, etc. I wonder if there are any tangible benefits for people like the staff on the MCCC Discord. Maybe they will get a free lunch at some point? Or a 5-minute "meet and greet" with one of these Simgurus (essentially C-level celebrities, at most)? Or a free autograph?

But hey, other platforms have different priorities. The things that we do on G4TW for example will also be seen as dubious, by anti-piracy proponents.

The Game Changers program is a mess in every way. Literally every single "Game Changer" who makes CC and mods also neglects the guidelines by hiding his or her mods behind ad.fly or other annoying paywalls, but I guess that is better than pedos.

Wait, wait...is that "Game Changer" person, by any chance, related to that MCCC Discord-server?

I recall someone once opened a topic here, mentioning a staff member there with (potentially) pedophile "preferences"...

Hm.

I wonder what would have happened if he had chosen to go after girls aged 16-17...

Yes, yes, double-standards everywhere.

Once upon a time there was a user on here, according to the profile a 14-year-old girl (!), and we were chatting on the chatbox. I already had a weird feeling...not sure, intellectually, whoever was behind that user account, sounded more mature/ older than 14. 

Eventually that person sent me a private message here, making "romantic advances". I turned that down and stopped all communications. Yes, age difference was a main reason of course, but there were also secondary reasons. Like I hinted, whoever was using that account sounded a lot smarter/mature than your average 14-year-old girl. My thinking was, this could have been someone who specifically wanted to "expose" me or something, and thereby indirectly implicating G4TW as a whole. 

I have a sixth sense for this kind of stuff. I know what's going. I cannot be fooled.  #dealwithit

Maybe it was 'just' some kind of a catfish though.

My age is classified information, and only known by a select few 'insiders' on here! 

Though if you look at the list of my favorite games, maybe there are some items that could give you a clue. But enough said!111
