If you want to organize your mods, you can create subfolders within the Mods folder. . package files can be placed up to five subfolders deep (e. g. Mods\CAS\Clothing\Child\Shoes\Package). However, . ts4script files can only be placed up to one subfolder deep (e. g. Mods\Scripts).

Click on the . . . in the upper right-hand corner of your game to pull up the menu. Click Game Options. This will bring up the Game Options menu. Go to the Other tab. Check the boxes next to “Enable Custom Content and Mods” and “Script Mods Allowed”. Click Apply Changes in the lower right-hand corner of the menu, close the menu, and restart your game.

Open your Mods folder and move about half the files somewhere else onto your computer. Start your game, load a saved game, and see if the problem goes away. If the problem persists, close your game and remove half of your files again. Repeat the process until you stop experiencing problems. Once you’ve stopped experiencing the problem, begin adding in your mods one at a time and then loading your save again. Eventually, after adding one of the mods, you will start experiencing the bug again. This means that the mod you added back is what’s causing your problem. Quit your game and remove the mod you just added back.

Sites like Mod The Sims will list any required packs on the download page, and modders using independent sites will typically list any required packs as well.

Many modders will have mod status pages listing whether a mod is compatible with the latest patch or needs to be updated. Modders can go inactive. If a mod hasn’t received updates for several patches, remove it from your game.
