Open up your Mods folder, and make sure you've placed the CC correctly.Look at the files listed there and you should see the content you've downloaded listed.

Make sure you’re in the General tab and scroll down to Updates. Make sure automatic updates are turned off for your game.Here are the simple steps to ensuring a (hopefully) happy game after updating with Mods: To make sure you are never caught out by automatic updates, turn them off.
