Thank you I’ve played every version of sims and I have always played “vanilla” because moving around files in my computer seems too scary. I’m still scared tbh with every update needing mod maintenance but my wish for a king and queen makes me always wish I could get the mod…… I dunno 🤷🏻♀️ I found you because your shorts are hilarious keeping your sims happy all the time 😂 great work!
Thank you for this SOOOOOO much, I was so confused about why my mods weren't showing up, but I learned after watching this that all I had to do was enable custom content and mods😭😭
I have watched this multiple times, but I can’t add the mood to my sims 4. You talked a bit fast and had a lot of zoomed in shots so I couldn’t see everything that you were doing. And you didn’t explain HOW the mood actually gets moved to the game. I don’t know how to operate with a pc, so that is my problem. But I had a hard time understanding what you where explaining.
once you extract the mod, because you can just drag zip files into your mods folder, then you can simply just copy the folder you're trying to move into the mods folder inside your EA/Sims folder. You can also drag and drop if this works better for you. think of it as you're organizing a music folder and you're moving an song into an album folder. were you able to at least download the mod you wanted and was also able to locate it?
@@Nardvillain dude thank you! Yes I was able to download it but it never appeared in the actual game. But now I understand much better! Thank you so much my man

Hi, so I've done everything I can, downloaded the mods the right way in the right folder and fixed the game settings, ive reinstalled the game, tried to repair it, so much more but no matter what I do when i go to view custom content nothing shows up
Sorry for the delay but have you figured it out? You shouldn’t need to repair your game unless you’re having other issues. Did you add any cc or mods in the folder? Make sure you extracted the zip files
did you extract it? if it's sitting in your folder as a .zip it's not going to work. did you also check your game options to make sure you have the two mod/script settings enabled? lastly, what kind of mod is it? what does it suppose to do for your game?
@@Nardvillain its the mod called run away teen, its not a .zip file its a .package it doesnt need extracting. I downloaded winrar to try and extract but it didnt work
ive watched so many videos and i do what they say and then i go on to my game and the thingy abt the mods i have never shows up idk why someone pls help me
aer you on pc or mac? steam, origin, EA app? Are you extracting the mods? so when you paste them into your mods folder, it's copying over the script and .package files. also -- you might need to make sure that's the mods folder your game is using. maybe there are duplicate folders. what mod are you trying to add in your game? some mods don't do anything until you tell it to do something. great example of that is MC Command Center. Also -- make sure your mods and script mods are enabled in game options.
Yeah I’ll put it in my list. But to get you started, you need to get the “tray files” of that sim. That way you’ll have all the important items from that sim or lot.
@@Nardvillain yeah I have that file but for some reason idk if I’m doing it wrong or if there is just items missing from the sim that isn’t available anymore because it never works for me and I’ve tried multiple times. I didn’t know how to download mods either but yesterday I did and I understand how to do that but downloading other sims? It’s so confusing. My first mistake when I didn’t know how to download mods was that there wasn’t a thing called resource in my mode folder and that’s why whenever I downloaded some they never appeared in my game
@@Nardvillaini’m having the same problem too. i downloaded mccc and whenever i start the game the pop up appears telling me i have it, i have script mods allowed, but when i go into the game it’s like it’s not there?
hello, i have a question, after i downloaded a mod, i was able to see it in the showcase but when i started playing i didnt see the option for the mods i installed, it seems like its the only problem when nstalling mods i was also wondering whether i need a specific zip or file opener for this
make sure you're not dropping the .zip files into your folder. extract the files with .zip or an extract program. if you'r eon mac, itll automatically do it. once you do that, take those extracted files which are usually .package and .script into your mod folders.
How about doing a guide on where to find the best mods. I have found all kinds of information on how to add mods but not where to find them or how to use them.
I dont know what i did wrong, but i did my things there, i installed mods, but it didnt enter the game! I installed this birth mod, and when my sim went give birth, it didnt show up! Can you explaine to me why it didnt work?
No problem! But if I may ask for some help, did I happen to you too? I installed the childbirth mod by pandasama, and it was in the game correctly, but my sims couldn't interact with it, they said they couldn't reach it, if you could help me I would be very grateful!!
if you're dropping files into your mods folder -- your save files shouldnt be touched cuz your save files is a folder of its own. did you mistakenly moved them?
once create the folder. exit the game and back and see if the folder still exisit. it should. if not, maybe a repair will work. also -- when installing mods, make sure the mod you are installing is a .package or .script file. that's the only extensions the game will be able to read.
@@Nardvillain I did what the video said and the mods screen popped up in the game and I was super excited so I went into my only game bc I just got the sims and it said it was corrupted
@@Nardvillain I had already tried with something called curseforge I think because I thought I needed it but it would work so I tried to move the game file and then I had to repair the file to get into the game but now it won’t work and the screen that said the mod file wasn’t working said it was too deep but I don’t know what to even do this is my first computer
If it was some deleted by mistake, the game will usually add another one once you open the game up again, if not, you’ll have to maybe do a repair and it’ll add all the folders back. I don’t see why it wouldn’t work if you add it yourself. Have you tried adding a mod to the folder to see if it works?
hmmm. within your EA folder/Sims folder. you should have a variety of folders like tray files, saves, screenshots, mod, etc. you'll also have other files within the folders to keep the game running. I'm hearing you can create folders but I'd suggest doing a search within the search bar if you are not able to locate your folders. Usually, your folders will be the path you installed the game.
when i installed my game i was able to find like this: Documents/Electronic Arts/the Sims 4/Mods. If you can't find it. try searching for it in the find or search bar. maybe search "the sims 4" or "mods". that's assuming you don't have other folders titled "mods" or "the sims 4". mac has a great search system, IMO.
Hello, when I opened my folder, I can't found the Mods folder. I tried to add it, my game crashes, I can't even repair the game, or uninstalls it. What should I do?
i would check to see how much hard drive space you have? sometimes when you're low on hard drive space, it might now allow you to reinstall. but you shouldn't haver to reinstall. you should be able to add a mods folder to your ea folder/sims 4/ and enter the mods folder there. first, maybe try locating your sims 4 folder.
Its not working at all, I have the scrip mod thing enabled aswell as the other stuff. I may not be good at stuff like this but i just dont know how to do it
my sims 4 folder doesn't have a mods folder? I've gone into the game settings and allowed mods and cc, so i don't know what's going on. I tried adding a mods folder myself, but the mods/cc still aren't showing up...
Sims 4 help/tips please! Hi 👋 haven't played sims since Sims 2 and 3 came out. Trying to get back into playing for Sims 4.. Can someone explain to me how and why we delete the old mods when the game updates? How to I ensure that I don't lose any new mods I've downloaded? Do I have to constantly redownload them when it updates? Thanks!
reason why you want to delete old mods is some mods will be broken due to updates. if there are no updates, than you are okay. most mods will not need to be deleted. you will just need to go to the modders website to make sure the update didn't break their mod.
@@Nardvillain I haven’t checked but I don’t think so because some are working and there’s others where the build buy items aren’t showing up. I asked the discord and they said it might be because of the better build buy mod but again I haven’t tested it yet.
So i just downloaded the hopes and fears mod. Inside the official "Mods" folder i created a folder called "Hopes and fears mod" and unzipped the mod right there. Now... inside the zip folder there are folders... and inside them there are some files and some MORE folders. AND MORE FOLDERS INSIDE THOSE. what should i do? just leave it like that? put everything out in a way that there are no more folders inside the "Hopes and fears mod" folder..?
i would try to keep all the folders within 2 sub folders. the deeper you go into folders, the mod might not work. also, i wouldn't keep the zip file in the mods folder. i usually download the zip files ot mhy download folder and extract them there. from there, I usually just copy and paste them into my mods folder to ensure I don't have any weird files in my mods folder.
Hm. No mods folder in the entire PC but I seen some tutorials say that you might have to MAKE a mods folder. Is the mods folder just supposed to be in The Sims 4 file or is it somewhere specific Just to note: Using the Steam version of The Sims 4
And you did try searching by typing it in within the find feature on your computer? If so, then yes, go into where EA/the sims 4 folders are and create one. If you see other folders like saves, tray, screenshots, etc - you will know you’re in the right spot to add a new folder. Call Mods. See if that works.
@@Nardvillain yeah it’s in my EA games folder but it only lists installer, data, delta, game, sp08, and support as the folders inside of it am i able to just add a folder named mods and have it work the same?? im brand new to pc so i’ve got 0 knowledge lol
what kind mod is it? some mods you might have to tell it to do something or set up it within the game for it to work. Like MCCC and UI Cheats. you have to do specific actions for them to work.
@@Nardvillain i tried like 15 mods but none of them worked.. maybe i saved them to a wrong folder because the cc are working, when i made folders for cc like hair and all i put another folder and put the mods in it. are you not supposed to do that?
in addition, if you're on windows/pc -- maybe do a google search on where it could be. also -- you could search for it in the search bar. maybe search "mods" or "mods" and filter by folder.
Your mods folder is separate from your save files, trays, screenshots and all other folders. so if you're downloading mods to your download folder or where you set the path to your download, you should be able to extract and just copy and paste. if you're having issues with that mod, I would make sure that mod is up to date. also -- if you're on PC, you can download CurseForge and it'll help you with mods and such. That was available yet at the time of making this vid.
you might be able to create one. or search in the finder "mod" "mods" and see where the path is. otherwise, google if it's okay to add one in your Ea/the sims 4/ folder
@@Nardvillain Eh haven't played in a while. The new update required me to put the mods in more than one folder. Is this the same case for you? Either way am good. Was just disappointed because my mods were organized from head acc down to shoes, even separated by gender.
what I typically do is move all my mods outside of my EA folder and update them accordingly. i usually create a new save file and just play in that until my mods are good to go. that way I dont screw up any existing save files that relied on my mods.@@user-tf9dm6ti7c
most mods come in a compressed folder that you will have to open. think of a zipped file like a treasure chest. you have to open it in order to get the content inside it.
mine just downloaded into my file. like several links into 1 file. however when i go to click on the file it says i don’t have anything to open it with. what do i do?
what's the extension of those files? .rar? .zip? .package? .script? if they're .package adn .script, put those in the mods folder. once you're in the game, they should work.
What file are you looking for? The program to unzip the mod ? Cant locate your mods folder? Are you on mac or PC? I also have another video that explains how to add mods plus navigate through MC Command center. Maybe that one is better.
I have a problem, im playing from steam and i cant find the mods folder in electronic arts. Its not showing the sims folder inside electronic arts either, any solutions?
doesn't show the icon when you click on a computer, on a sim or mailbox? or even the ground? if not, maybe it's not properly install or it's conflicting with another mod or it's not up to date.
@@Nardvillain No, i tried to install cc fairies vs witches and i put it in the mod folder, the only thing that was in game was 1 skirt and 1 eyes, other items didnt showed up and also even not the occults.
Everything that’s in the folder you extracted goes into your mods folder unless it tells you not too. Mostly likely you will be copying and pasting .script and .package files
does this still work if you have sims through steam?? Because I have 2 mods downloaded from the mc command center and they are unziped, in the downloads/EA/The Sims 4/ Mods, and the sims settings are changed too.
It should work if you have steam. You can even use curseforge for most mods now. But if you’re manually doing it, it should work. Just make sure you enabled the mods in game settings.
hmmm. you should have it. maybe try to do a repair game and see if that helps. within your EA folder (where that is located), you should have a mods, screenshots, videos, etc folders. @@_cucu_
here's what I googled. Can you make a mods folder for Sims 4? This will typically be in a folder in “Documents/Electronic Arts/The Sims 4/Mods.” If the “Mods” folder doesn't exist, you can make your own, as long as it's in the same location. source: polygon.com @@_cucu_

@@darianachimienti3779 hmmm that's interesting. it's somewhere on your computer tho.. can you at least open the game and play it?
Hello, when I opened my folder, I can't found the Mods folder. I tried to add it, my game crashes, I can't even repair the game, or uninstalls it. What should I do?
i would check to see how much hard drive space you have? sometimes when you're low on hard drive space, it might now allow you to reinstall. but you shouldn't haver to reinstall. you should be able to add a mods folder to your ea folder/sims 4/ and enter the mods folder there. first, maybe try locating your sims 4 folder.
@Nardvillain Thank you, it works now. But I face another issue when the mods not showing up, although there's already recource.cfg
Thank you :DD
You’re welcome 😎😎
Its not working at all, I have the scrip mod thing enabled aswell as the other stuff. I may not be good at stuff like this but i just dont know how to do it
which mod did you download?
my sims 4 folder doesn't have a mods folder? I've gone into the game settings and allowed mods and cc, so i don't know what's going on. I tried adding a mods folder myself, but the mods/cc still aren't showing up...
Are you on origin? I wonder if you did a repair it might appear. Maybe try googling it.
when i open the game and check my mods folder in game my downloaded mods show up but when i try to play none of them are in game
did you make sure the script mods settings are enable in game options?
Sims 4 help/tips please!
Hi 👋 haven't played sims since Sims 2 and 3 came out. Trying to get back into playing for Sims 4.. Can someone explain to me how and why we delete the old mods when the game updates? How to I ensure that I don't lose any new mods I've downloaded? Do I have to constantly redownload them when it updates? Thanks!
reason why you want to delete old mods is some mods will be broken due to updates. if there are no updates, than you are okay. most mods will not need to be deleted. you will just need to go to the modders website to make sure the update didn't break their mod.
i wonder how many people are here for the purple heart
hahaaha
just got some more mods and now the mods that were fine before aren't working properly
im just gonna delete and start again, everything is a mess
do you think you accidentally disabled your mods within game settings?
@@Nardvillain I haven’t checked but I don’t think so because some are working and there’s others where the build buy items aren’t showing up. I asked the discord and they said it might be because of the better build buy mod but again I haven’t tested it yet.
If you download mods and want to turn them of how do you do that
if you dont want the mod, you can delete it from your mod folder. if you dont want any mods, you can go back into game options and unable script mods
So i just downloaded the hopes and fears mod. Inside the official "Mods" folder i created a folder called "Hopes and fears mod" and unzipped the mod right there. Now... inside the zip folder there are folders... and inside them there are some files and some MORE folders. AND MORE FOLDERS INSIDE THOSE. what should i do? just leave it like that? put everything out in a way that there are no more folders inside the "Hopes and fears mod" folder..?
i would try to keep all the folders within 2 sub folders. the deeper you go into folders, the mod might not work. also, i wouldn't keep the zip file in the mods folder. i usually download the zip files ot mhy download folder and extract them there. from there, I usually just copy and paste them into my mods folder to ensure I don't have any weird files in my mods folder.
Hm. No mods folder in the entire PC but I seen some tutorials say that you might have to MAKE a mods folder. Is the mods folder just supposed to be in The Sims 4 file or is it somewhere specific
Just to note: Using the Steam version of The Sims 4
And you did try searching by typing it in within the find feature on your computer? If so, then yes, go into where EA/the sims 4 folders are and create one. If you see other folders like saves, tray, screenshots, etc - you will know you’re in the right spot to add a new folder. Call Mods. See if that works.
@@Nardvillain I did have an electronic arts folder with The Sims 4 there but I had to make my own mod folder. After that everything worked fine
can’t even find my mods folders
You might have to create one if you can’t find it. Can you locate your sims 4 folder?
@@Nardvillain yeah it’s in my EA games folder but it only lists installer, data, delta, game, sp08, and support as the folders inside of it
am i able to just add a folder named mods and have it work the same?? im brand new to pc so i’ve got 0 knowledge lol
I’ve tried this and everything else and can’t get them to work either 😢
Did you enable mods and script mods in game options?
I tried this but it didn’t work
What part are you stuck at ? What mod are toy installing?
@@Nardvillain oh nvm it’s working idk what I did but I was stuck for hours tryna do this
the mods open up in the main menu but i cant find them in the game???
what kind mod is it? some mods you might have to tell it to do something or set up it within the game for it to work. Like MCCC and UI Cheats. you have to do specific actions for them to work.
@@Nardvillain i tried like 15 mods but none of them worked.. maybe i saved them to a wrong folder because the cc are working, when i made folders for cc like hair and all i put another folder and put the mods in it. are you not supposed to do that?
I don't even see the option for electronic art
Do you remember where you downloaded your game? if it's not EA, maybe try documents/sims 4/mods
in addition, if you're on windows/pc -- maybe do a google search on where it could be. also -- you could search for it in the search bar. maybe search "mods" or "mods" and filter by folder.
2:10 mine doesn't have a mods folder? Do i make one?
you can create one or repair your game and it should show up.
@@Nardvillain thanks
@@ovr8937 did that work?
@@Nardvillain yes it did! The mod is working. Thanks again
When I downloaded, it deleted all my saved stuff and my mods are reachable anymore 😂😅😅
Your mods folder is separate from your save files, trays, screenshots and all other folders. so if you're downloading mods to your download folder or where you set the path to your download, you should be able to extract and just copy and paste. if you're having issues with that mod, I would make sure that mod is up to date. also -- if you're on PC, you can download CurseForge and it'll help you with mods and such. That was available yet at the time of making this vid.
There is not a mods folder?
you might be able to create one. or search in the finder "mod" "mods" and see where the path is. otherwise, google if it's okay to add one in your Ea/the sims 4/ folder
@@Nardvillain thank you it worked
@@Smally2life awesosme! good to know because i'm thinking about updating this video and creating a shorter version.
How to add pets on steam? Its missing. Thank you sir
It’s not showing up on steam? Search cats and dogs.
It shows on the mod list but not on the CAS when I edit Sims. What do I do? They're just clothes and accessories. :(
is the mod you wanted to use up to date? what mod did you add? what is it suppose to do in CAS?
@@Nardvillain Eh haven't played in a while. The new update required me to put the mods in more than one folder. Is this the same case for you? Either way am good. Was just disappointed because my mods were organized from head acc down to shoes, even separated by gender.
what I typically do is move all my mods outside of my EA folder and update them accordingly. i usually create a new save file and just play in that until my mods are good to go. that way I dont screw up any existing save files that relied on my mods.@@user-tf9dm6ti7c
I don’t know what a zip file is can you please explain?
most mods come in a compressed folder that you will have to open. think of a zipped file like a treasure chest. you have to open it in order to get the content inside it.
what if i cant find my mods folder? :(
try searching in the "find" feature
Can you make a vidoe on how to download sims4 on mac please
Do you have origin? Or stream? Super I’ll create a short for you. I need to figure out how to tag you.
@@Nardvillaini habe origin :)
@@Nardvillaini have origin but last time i tried to download it it just kepted loading and I don’t know? Why :(. I even restarted my computer
mine just downloaded into my file. like several links into 1 file. however when i go to click on the file it says i don’t have anything to open it with. what do i do?
what's the extension of those files? .rar? .zip? .package? .script? if they're .package adn .script, put those in the mods folder. once you're in the game, they should work.
i use steam vers, idk if that makes any difference since there is no "mod" folder...
hmmmm. maybe try searching for "mods" on your computer. see exactly where the game was installed to
Why I cant see the *mods* folder?
Are you on windows or PC. Go into your search bar and search “Mods” and see exactly where it might be on your computer.
This sucked I don’t have a file for it like what I’m so confused I wish tutorials were slower
What file are you looking for? The program to unzip the mod ? Cant locate your mods folder? Are you on mac or PC? I also have another video that explains how to add mods plus navigate through MC Command center. Maybe that one is better.
I have a problem, im playing from steam and i cant find the mods folder in electronic arts. Its not showing the sims folder inside electronic arts either, any solutions?
are you able to search it on your desktop? do you have a search bar?
i don't have a mods folder?
try searching for it in the task bar. you should.
I cant find a mod folder
You can do a search in the finder
Nope, doesnt work. It shows in start but not in game-
doesn't show the icon when you click on a computer, on a sim or mailbox? or even the ground? if not, maybe it's not properly install or it's conflicting with another mod or it's not up to date.
@@Nardvillain No, i tried to install cc fairies vs witches and i put it in the mod folder, the only thing that was in game was 1 skirt and 1 eyes, other items didnt showed up and also even not the occults.
thanks
Do you have to add both the file that comes when you extract it and the original, or only one of Them?
Everything that’s in the folder you extracted goes into your mods folder unless it tells you not too. Mostly likely you will be copying and pasting .script and .package files
u downloaded sims through xbox app... so how do i do this
unfortunately this is only for PC. You will not be able to install mods for console.
Hey it says that MC command center part of my custom content but when I click on a computer in my most recent household, nothing shows up. Any advice?
Are your mods enabled? Did you make sure you have the most current version of the mod?
does this still work if you have sims through steam?? Because I have 2 mods downloaded from the mc command center and they are unziped, in the downloads/EA/The Sims 4/ Mods, and the sims settings are changed too.
It should work if you have steam. You can even use curseforge for most mods now. But if you’re manually doing it, it should work. Just make sure you enabled the mods in game settings.
@@Nardvillain i can't make mutple mods folders, i have 3 mods in my Mods folder, is that too much? also i downloaded the files through curseforge
I wanted to ask we bought a aser laptop and there is no file with mods And we don't know what to do
Have you tried searching for it within the search bar?
@@Nardvillain i have...i got no results..is there like way i could make the mod folder?
hmmm. you should have it. maybe try to do a repair game and see if that helps. within your EA folder (where that is located), you should have a mods, screenshots, videos, etc folders. @@_cucu_
here's what I googled.
Can you make a mods folder for Sims 4?
This will typically be in a folder in “Documents/Electronic Arts/The Sims 4/Mods.” If the “Mods” folder doesn't exist, you can make your own, as long as it's in the same location.
