Installation and Troubleshooting
Please read the following Instructions on how to Install my Mods and what to do when a Mod is not working right or giving errors:
Installation of Mods
A lot of my Mods need the XML Injector Mod to work!
Please download the XML Injector and install it directly into your Mods Folder
General Mods (only contain *.package Files)
If it is a one Version Mod:
Click on one of the Download Buttons to download my Mods. Open the downloaded Zip File with Winzip, Winrar or similiar and drag & drop the *.package File into your Sims 4 Mods Folder (Documents > Electronic Arts > The Sims 4 > Mods). If a Mod has Optional Addons, install them the same Way if you want them.
Script Mods (contain *.ts4script Files with or without *.package files)
Click on one of the Download Buttons to download my Mods. Open the downloaded Zip File with Winzip, Winrar or similiar and drag & drop the *.package File(s) & *.ts4script File into your Sims 4 Mods Folder (not more than one Subfolder deep for example Documents > Electronic Arts > The Sims 4 > Mods > LittleMsSam). Don’t rename any of those or it might not work.
Enable Script Mods via Game Options > Other.
If a Mod has Optional Addons, install them the same Way if you want them.
Troubleshooting
If a Mod is not working (for example Interactions don’t show up ingame) do the following Steps:
1) Check the Installation Guide above if you have missed an important Installation Step. Most common Error is the Installation of Script mods too deep into the Mods Folder or Script Mods is not enabled in the Game Options! Be aware after each Patch check these Options because they can get disabled by the Patch.
2) You’ve got an old version of the Mod maybe? After each Game Patch, check on my main page to see if any of my Mods needed an Update. I’ll mention only the Mods that needed to be updated, if it wasn’t mentioned it doesn’t need an Update. If a Mod did got updated, delete the older files from your Mods folder, and re-download the updated version.
3) Check for Mod Conflicts! To do that move all other Mods and CC out of the Mod Folder into a Backup Folder on your Desktop. Delete the localthumbcache.package in your Sims 4 Folder. Start the Game and check if you still have the Issue even if just this one Mod is in your Mod Folder. DON’T click on Save or else all your saved CC etc will be gone! Just close your Game without saving.
If the Mod works without any other Mod/CC you know there is either a Mod Conflict or another Mod that is causing an Issue which is influencing my Mod. Now the only way to find out which one it is, is to 50/50 all your Mods. (How to 50/50 post by EG)
If the Mod still not works i invite you to contact me via the Support Channel on Discord so we can try to figure out what the problem is.
