Hello!
My problem with my game is that my mods dont work, but cc such as hair and clothes work fine. I have Sims 2 Ultimate Collection.
I have ACR, I dont see the menu when I click a sim, and same thing is happening with inteen too, although I did make sure that I have the correct version,and put the inteen g file in fun with pets/SP9/TsData/Res/Overrides. I had notownieregen, it worked fine in the beginning, around two days ago I removed it , played my game (in a neighborhood I never played with) and then put it back, and the townies keep spawning.MQ's Hacked Computer does not work too! I am not sure what the problem is, because I'm putting them all in my downloads folder. I also have other mods, but they're not working too.
Any help is highly appreciated.

Forgive me for asking, as the probable answer is "of course," but it's amazing what people forget to do, or their computers do without their knowledge, sometimes. Are you absolutely certain that CC is enabled? Hair and clothes don't require specific enabling, but interactable objects and behavior changing hacks do.

I have just checked in my game, and cc is already enabled.

Did you make sure that the 'Display Custom Content Dialog at Startup" option is disabled?

Yes, I did.

Why would you want to disable it? I've never disabled it, and it interferes with nothing.

However, that's neither here nor there for the problem, which is indeed a puzzling one. It's common for mods to interfere with each other, but for all of them to interfere so thoroughly that none of them work is a bit much.

Try this. Take out all your mods. Replace one, then test to see if it works. If it doesn't, set it aside and add another one by itself. If it does, add another one without taking out the first one, and test. Repeat till you think you find a pattern or a clue you can follow up.

Yes, some of these you'll be challenged to find a simple testing method for - especially since one possible result is that some functions of complex mods like ACR and Inteen work and others don't. Start with the simple ones and hope they give you the clue that will make it unnecessary to test the big ones! To test spawn suppressors, you can disable the Neighborhood Templates in the TSData/Res folders (Not sure exactly where they are in the UC) by renaming them, and generate an empty test hood. Confirm that it's empty by checking the Characters folder. (If you miss a template you'll get Hobby leaders or strays or something during creation.) Then you can go do things that would normally spawn new characters, and see if they spawn.

Maybe somebody else'll come along with a better idea; but that's what I'd do in such a situation. I'd also be looking for something I did in a moment of absence of mind or confusion, and for things that might be going wrong with the computer rather than with the game software. Not that I have any suggestions; but game problems are sometimes exterior to the game.

It's included in the wiki checklist of things to do if your mods don't work because it does interfere for some of us.

Most of us have that disabled Peni, because it halts loading and is not needed. That screen however has nothing to do with your mods working or not.

Another really silly question, did you unzip all of your mods?

Can you take a screenshot of your downloads folder?

From personal experience, that option can result in your CC not working, not just in slowing loading. Why, I don't know, but I followed the CC troubleshooting wiki, and that was the thing that did the trick.

Odd, it shouldn't have anything to do with it. Never has for me. Do you have a link?

This is the instructional page I mentioned. http://simswiki.info/wiki.php?title=Game_Help:GCCTSU2

I was at my wit's end, because I'd already done the usual stuff, like enabling CC and making sure the Downloads folder had the capital D, and nothing. Then, lo and behold, that weird seemingly random suggestion fixed it.

Where you able to turn off the screen thing after you got the cc working? I was always told that was merely to tell a player that they had installed non EA content and that it had nothing to do with it working. I turned mine off pretty much straight away and never had an issue with it. I would hate to have that silly screen to continually pop up.

Oh no, the page tells you to turn the screen off if you have NL or higher. I had my pop up screen on, and the CC didn't show up. So, I followed the instructions and disabled the screen, and my CC started working.

Disabling the CC display to make CC show up might be a UC thing. I've got the CC display showing, and have no troubles getting CC to show up (I only have individual CD/DVDs). The only troubles I've had with the screen is the few times I've accidentally clicked "yes" to disabling CC, but that's a while ago. That's probably why you may want to turn it off...

One thing that can work is to enable CC multiple times until it sticks. If that doesn't work, you can try to enable CC, save while on a lot, then quit and reload.

Also make sure the Downloads folder is in the Documents/My Documents area. If you've put it in the game files (Program Files) or if you have Win7 (possibly 8/10, too) and have put the Downloads folder in the second EAgames folder (the one with the Libraries path, not the one with the Documents path), the game won't read the Downloads folder.

You'll also want to make sure the files are not subfoldered too deep. If the file paths are too long, the files won't show.

I did unzip all of my mods
I sent my mods folder, because I organize them into subfolders, and I also attached a image of my downloads folder.

I'm presuming you've already disabled the loading screen CC notice, checked "on" for Catalogs Display Custom Content and enabled CC in-game (Game Options). I'm also presuming you tried a few times.

If THAT doesn't work, there is the possibility you might have to alter the game files. I had to do this when I started a new game for the contest. Try as I might, I could not get modded items (such as the Blender) to show up. This may not apply to you because you apparently can see Monique's computer in your catalog ... you just can't use it properly. Either that, or you're seeing just the Maxis computer without the asterisk. I'm not sure.

Anyway, here is the guide. It may be a little scary changing the files like this, but it's not as bad as it may sound. If you're nervous, back up the user.Props file first.

I just want to check and make sure that you are trying to access ACR correctly. When you click on the a Sim, there should be a menu with tons of stuff ... Jump Rope, Pose, Entertain, etc. In that menu, you should see something that says ADJUST. Clicking on that option should give you the Spawn Adjuster option. I think it will show up on the lot as phone books, but you can change it to a few other things if you wish. Mine is a rose bush.

As for the notownieregen. My guess is that it's working correctly. You are not getting newly spawned townies. Instead, when you played without it, the game created a set of townies and those are the ones that you are randomly seeing here and there now that you've added the mod back in. They've been in the background and are just now showing up on lots, but not spawning new.

No idea about Inteen or Monique's computer since I have never used those mods.

The downloads folder is in the documents area, I have subfolders, but they're not deep.
I tried your solutions, but my mods still do not work.

I don't see ADJUST when I click my sim.
Thanks for clearing up the problem with notownieregen!

Thanks alot! My mods work now, turns out, in the config, ''disable custom objects'' was false.
Thanks to everyone for the help!

Great to hear.
