Uninstalled sims 4, Reinstalled and now no CC shows up, but it shows as a Script Mod.

Hey guys! 

So I will definitely admit that I am not the best when it comes to technology, especially when it comes to stuff like this, but I was able to get it to work the first time I tried to install all of the CC. 

I have TS4 through Origin, and at one point I had to uninstall it to create more room on my compute. The problem is, once I uninstalled and reinstalled, any CC i downloaded doesnt show up. On TS4 start menu it shows me all of the things that I've downloaded as Script Mods, but no CC. I've tried everything in every forum and I'm just at a loss right now. 

Also, I/m not the best at explaining, but if you're willing to help me I'm more than willing to be as helpful as I can. Thank you so much!!

Did you click the check box to show mods in the Options menu?

Hey taydani!

 

Check the installation process, it's universal for all of the mods: ​http://wickedwhims.tumblr.com/post/146504262381/requirements-installation

Installation Mistakes
The most common mistakes happen to everybody so check them regardless of your pride and computer knowledge.
Please don't use the installer for Windows on Linux or Mac systems. It's not designed for it and you don't need it to install the game.

1. Files structure of mods is pretty strict and putting mod files into too many folders will cause the game to not find them. If your mods are in a folder that is in a folder that is in a folder that is in a folder, you most likely have to fix that. Don't do too many folders, the game can't find the files in them.

2. After every game update, you have to enable mods in settings again. Every single time when the game gets updates all of your mods get disabled. Enable them in settings.

3. Extract downloaded mods. Some of them might need to be in a ZIP or RAR files, but a lot of them require unpacking. Extract them no matter what and if they don't include a note that you shouldn't do it, then you probably should do it.

4. Multiple mods versions. If your mods folder is a mess, you probably have the same mod installed multiple times. Having WickedWhims installed twice or more is a huge mistake. Remove everything related to WickedWhims and install it again.

5. Update. Outdated mods are the most common issue when a game update occurs and you might not be even aware of it.
