The Sims 4 Feedback List
FOLDERS COMPATIBILITY
Lots of us like to keep our Mods folder organised by having each mod in their respective folders, which is a very well known method within the Sims community, a life saver if I may say. For example:
[...] Mods > Mod Name Folder > ModName.ts4script
[...] Mods > CC Folder > Hairstyles Folder > CCName.package
Unfortunately, even after downloading the mods directly from CurseForge and organising them manually into folders, it just removes the fact it was downloaded on CurseForge, so the auto-updates will possibly never go through, totally losing compatibility.
Downloading from CurseForge and simply renaming the folders where the mods came in also loses compatibility.
VISIBLE FOLDERS
Then there's the big chaos; automatic and manually installed cc & mods are appearing scattered all together, as if they never belonged to any folder, which is kind of overwhelming. If we have CC folders, with more folders inside, we would love it to appear as is, to dive into the folders ourselves within CurseForge, without losing compatibility.
TRAY & MODS
I understand why tray files are appearing since CurseForge has the ability to download households, builds, etc. But these should be separated completely from Mods.
TOGGLING MODS
Sometimes we like to toggle some mods off depending of our gameplay mood, but we don't want to get rid of them, we still want them! An option to toggle them would be great, aside of a filter to indicate those that are on and off.
MODPACKS
I see that there's a possibility to have ModPacks within CurseForge's app, would it be possible to have the same for The Sims 4? For example, let's say a modder that creates a bunch of CC would like to create a huge ModPack with it, would be very handy.
IMPROVED REFRESH BUTTON
A lot of Simmers aren't aware that they can't interact with the CurseForge app until the refresh button indicates it has finished, so maybe a small tool tip to indicate this could be helpful, or add some kind of compatibility to still work on your mods whilst it's refreshing.
Hopefully I have spoken on behalf of the Sims community, by enlisting the feedback from most to least important. I'm not sure if these posts can be edited after being posted, but if so, I'll add anything that I could have possibly missed.
I would also like to spread my appreciation towards the transparency CurseForge is having until now, with the updates and willing to listen to our suggestions, so thank you!

A lot of these ideas were suggested in various forms in 2022, yet since then almost no updates has been made to the sims in curseforge, but a lot with each update for other games. Have the sims been forgotten?
Please, and Thank you.
I copied this and put it on the unistall survey when i got rid of cursed forge - maybe if we all did this they will listen. if no one is using thier service they'll have to take action surely?
Hello,
When can we expect an update on this? It is hard to find a mod that is impacting game play when they are cluttered. Curseforge needs to be able to read that mods downloaded from CF are there just in folders.
+1, especially toggling. That would be so helpful.
I see there's been no addition of any of these features over the past 9 months & now if you sort the files manually it creates an error with the Cursforege app where you have to reinstall every mod or the game will not open. This is the 3rd time in 2 weeks I've had to reinstall everything, I will be uninstalling the app after this as I have way too many things to keep having to reinstall because the file was moved.
Why is my mods working with the clothing and that but not my build/buy? can anyone help
Damn! I wish I would have read this before I made the switch. I do love that I can hit one button to update my mods,however, the folders are gone! I already made the switch and I can't wait to an update on this.
Yes, why is it we cannot use the same category search on our mods that we do when looking for new mods? Several of us have more old content on our system than new content, the idea here was supposed to have Curseforge "organize" them and keep them up to date. So now we have to choose between having our files organized, and having them up to date.
More importantly: If there is more than one CAS background screen in the game, or more than one loading screen in the game, it can break the game until the duplicates are removed. We need to be able to see where these might be installed without searching through 100 files for the descriptions or having to delete or rename the whole mods folder when there are two or mods creating game-breaking conflicts.
When it stands my mods in CurseForge its really not. It is showing lots of my builds and loads of my character i created. Why do you got acess to them ? I downloaded mc command and simda date ap. and they do not show under mods
I love your app. The only quite annoying thing is that if I want to install a new mod or update a mod with the app, I am asked to download the EA App again and again and again and again ... Is there any way of quitting that? Besides, I wait patiently for all your great ideas to become reality ... This is much better than all other available mod apps - with great potential.
I wanna say that these features being missing are all why I haven't made the switch. I'm very picky about my folder structure, and I need to be able to sort things, which has led to me sticking with manually downloading and updating everything.
Just started trying the curseforge app (vs traditional modding installation via folder creation in game file) and totally agree with this feedback. With many mods in use, we need folders to organize our files please. I'll use it for now for the auto update ability.
Yeah lack of folders has meant I uninstalled the app for the reasons other have stated. I thought you would be able to browse by folders/category in the actual app too instead of having this big unorganised list. It's much easier for me to just organise them via folders than using this app unfortunately.
The only thing stopping me from using CurseForge is the inability to organise my mods into folders! I need it to be organised so I can more easily troubleshoot issues and make navigating mods easier as a whole. I hope they add support soon so I can finally use CurseForge for the majority of my mods!
I have tried using curseforge today for the first time ever, it's a big change as I've been modding since Sims 2. I cannot deal with the chaos in my mods folder, I cannot tell what's already there from before curseforge and what's new and when I organise it the auto-update is gone which is the only reason I was interested. It needs to be able to identify when you already have a mod, auto-update wherever they're placed and let you have sub-folders or it's absolutely useless. Uninstalled already.
This! I'm stopping my use of Curseforge already because of the chaos. My mod folder is out of control, I can't hide gallery/library items (why? are they here?), and the years I've spent cultivating my organization system REALLY hits me in the wrong way. But I'd love to keep using Curseforge for the auto-updating, because that's my least favorite task after every update
I need some way to like, organize my files in Curseforge, or I'm gonna have to go back to manually managing my mods for my own sanity.
yes! This is an amazing idea as it takes soo long when you download a lot of mods haha
