Omg, thank you so much!

This is still working in my game patch of may the 4`th

It does not work please help.... i downloaded a lot of stuff but nothing really works tho. I pasted the resource. Fcg bla blw bla things but no miracle. I organized it wEll but still no effect! No matter hoW Hard i try it doesnt work! Who else has this problem.?

It depends on what you download. I found out modded mods has to be the way the modder says on the description. I see I still have sim stuff for cas in subfolders and they work. It may be different ways to do it. You just have to test. You also have to enable script mods in Origin and in the options in the game.

To make the coding (ish) part more easier use notepad++ you can download it here: https://notepad-plus-plus.org/
it makes the coding much more simple and easy to edit! and its FREE!!!!

Hello I just wanted to say thank you for this information. I haven't tried it out yet but i'm clear on what to do and was wondering if I could do this! I'm brand new at 'mods' so it's very helpful! I'll let you know if it works for me as soon as i've re-installed my game....(had a few probs!) Thanks again!

This isn't working after downloading the new Patio Stuff pack. Help!

Sorry

This worked for me. i just downloaded a text editor from https://www.textpad.com/download/index.html and used that to change the resource file. Thanks for the help :3

I'm sorry, but I'm really confused. Does creating these subfolders allow you to see what's in them inside the game? I really want a way to view all the items in a room set at once so that I can make the room without having to search for everything. I was using the search feature in the game, but then I downloaded multiple sets with the same name and now I can't desipher which item goes to which set. I'm wondering if making these sub folders will allow me to go in game and select a set, like I did in Sims 3.

Thank you for this info muchly....i have the resource.cfg rewritten as
Priority 500
PackedFile *.package
PackedFile */*.package
PackedFile */*/*.package
PackedFile */*/*/*.package
PackedFile */*/*/*/*.package
PackedFile */*/*/*/*/*.package

But now what do i do as for getting these "invisible" mods to appear. For example, how i do make a sub folder to get the hair located here:

To work for me? Im confused as all heck, and am such a noob to modding sims 4. Back in sims 1 day i had no problems modding, never played 2 or 3.

I fiddled around and i believe i understand how to do it now as a mod that wasnt showing before, now shows. However, i cant get Long Braids by KiaraZurk to work still....can someone attempt to get them to work and tell me how? LOL. Ill wub j00 forveres =D

For two days I have been going thru my custom content to find out what was wrong. My game was unable to load!
I am an organizing fanatic. Sub-folder-ed to death! For me right now if I do this it crashes my game.

I did try everything I can think of to get it to work with this change to the resource cfg file right now it wont work for me.
I have been playing sims since the beginning.

This does not need to be done manually any more now:

I want to say, "Thank You" this makes it so much easier to sort files instead of having a bunch of files and not know what is what and so forth. Thank you so much for this mod.

I looked at my Resource.cfg and it already had it in there! I guess EA started doing for us?

TS4 Mod Manager
 

I always use the TS4 Mod Manager (avail: http://modthesims.info/d/534991) to update my resource.cfg file. I like to put the mods in myself, and this tool will help with that, but I only use this to access my resource.cfg file. Maybe that would help?

So my .cfg looks a bit different from everyone else, so far, only 1 mod has asked me to change my resource.cfg file, the last line in this lineup is for that mod.

If you revise your resource.cfg file, be sure to keep an original of this file somewhere? When you change it, it's changed, and does not show you what changes you have made. So going back to a pristine file is difficult if you've made many changes. For me, I know I just have to remove the last line that starts "DirectoryFiles" and my file is back to vanilla.

On the mac it has the same thing. Quick question. Does this mean that there is a maximum of 6 folders deep that the mod folder can go into? So for example I have: Mods/Furniture/Bed Sets/ Bedsets.package (and so on). So because I'm a little OCD about my files, I like to keep the package files within folders. So if I unzip a file and it turns out to be a folder with multiple packages instead of just one package file, would it be too much? And are multiple folders allowed to be placed within the mods folder? So that means folders made for animations, poses, hair, clothing, furniture, etc

i dunno where to post this but i used winzip for my sims 4 and like my trail ran out what other stuff can i use to be able to put mods on my game????

I've been using IZArc for years. it is free.

i tried to use this and extracted to the mods folder and there not showing up im not sure what i am doing wrong

I always use 7zip, never had a problem with Sims 1,2 or 3

How do I find this file? where will it be located.

Oh, Just click oon the "New Folder" Button and write a name click enter and be a PRO!

try this resource.cfg
 

yes try this is more deep .
