If some of your Sims 4 Custom Content (CC) isn't showing up, try these steps: Ensure the game is updated, as out-of-date versions might not support all CC. Check the Mods folder to see if the files are correctly placed in it. Enable Custom Content and Mods in your game settings; this option might have been disabled. Examine the CC files for compatibility; some might be outdated or require specific expansions to work. Finally, clear the cache of your Sims 4 game to remove old and possibly conflicting files.
