If you updated MK8 to the latest version that came out a few weeks ago. CTGP-Cafe (and any other MK8 mods based on it) will no longer work. For the time being, in order to use such mods, you'll have to downgrade MK8 to its previous version. I've never had to downgrade a Wii U game, but there is a method here somewhere on how to do it, so it is possible.

Well, I tryed to downgrade but Wii U forces me to update the game

Well if you successfully downgrade, you can avoid upgrading the game again by turning off the Wii U's internet connection before starting the game.

When I turn off the internet connection it says that the game needs to update and forces me to connect to the internet to update

I dunno what to tell you. I haven't personally had to downgrade a Wii U game, since I've just kept the internet off anytime I mess with this game since the update. It should be possible though, others have reported luck in doing so I do believe.

I have been wanting to play CTGP-Café and MK8 Ultimate but my Mario Kart is updated, I didn't want to donwgrade it, so I'd like to know if anyone found a fix or knows what caused the problem in first place. Thanks in advance!

Edit: found something that explains it all:

Honestly I've explained all of this multiple times throughout the thread, I'm getting a little tired of elaborating again and again.

But here it is one more time:

These mods need to be loaded through the Wii U plugin system (WUPS), not SDcafiine. WUPS is an .elf homebrew. Aroma can't read .elf homebrew. In theory it can be converted to be Aroma compatible, and a few people have claimed they'd take a stab at such, but thus far, nothing has materialized from this as I'm aware. Which is why it has to at this time be loaded through Tiramisu or earlier cfws.

Trying to straight up inject data in the game will work fine for surface level SDcafiine kinds of mods. But this mod expands upon the code of MK8, so injecting like that is never gonna work unless maybe we get the MK8 source code via a decomp or something like that.

This was designed for MK8 before the latest update that fixes online, so don't make that update, or if you did, find a way to downgrade to the previous version. I'm sure the original creator of the adapted plugin here could update the code to make it work with the latest version (I personally wouldn't know exactly what to do in this regard), but he kinda disappeared and I don't really wanna go track him down and bother him over this, especially since this isn't even really meant for online and Wii U online will officially be ending in a few months anyway.
