Mods are player-made content for the game. However, mods don’t always work (load) and show up in Sims 4. If your Sims 4 mods are not working or showing up in-game, read on to find out how to fix the problem and get back to playing.

Why are my mods not working in Sims 4?

It might be that your mods have been disabled after an update, or you might have downloaded incompatible or older mods that simply won’t work with Sims 4. A whole batch of mods might not load because of one corrupted (broken) one or because the Sims 4’s cache might be corrupted.

How do you tell if a Sims 4 mod is broken?

There might be a broken mod if you’re encountering any minor issues when playing Sims 4. For example, Sims doing odd things, like walking up walls, is a sign of a broken mod issue. A dodgy mod is probably breaking the game when strange things happen in Sims 4 that don’t seem right. To identify a broken mod, try moving all your mods from the original folder into a different one. Then roll each mod back into Sims 4’s Mods folder one at a time. If you haven’t already installed them, check out our guide on installing Sims 4 mods on your device.

How can I fix the Sims 4 mods not working issue?

1. Check the mod compatibility

If mods are not showing up in Sims 4, double-check that they are compatible with Sims 4. Older Mods for older Sims games aren’t supported by Sims 4. A downloaded mod might not have been updated for the latest Sims 4 version. SPONSORED Open the webpage you downloaded a mod from to double-check its compatibility. A mod’s download page should provide sufficient compatibility info for it. Make sure you’ve downloaded a mod from the right Sims game category, and check a changelog for it if the download page includes one.

2. Unzip mod packages

Make sure your mods are in the correct unzipped formats. To do so, you’ll need to check if there are any zipped mods in your Mods folder. If that is the case, then this is the culprit for mods not showing up in Sims 4.

3. Uninstall and reinstall Sims 4

Also, you should be careful that the game was completely removed before reinstalling it. For this, we use CCleaner, a free software that will make sure there are no file leftovers on your system.

4. Check if Sims 4 mods are enabled

5. Select Origin’s Repair Game option

6. Update Sims 4

7. Clear the game’s cache folder

How do I make Sims 4 mods work after the update?
