All CC not working, not even nointro.package

I just downloaded Showtime, Late Night, World Adventures, and a bunch of CC, but now my CC is no longer working (both old and new). It doesn't appear in game, and even the regular no intro mod doesn't function. I'm assuming the problem isn't the new CC because of solution #1 down below

Things I've checked/tried:

  1. Removed all CC and put them in a different folder, leaving only nointro.package in the folder. No intro still doesn't work
  2. Went into properties and unblocked all files
  3. Deleted the five cache files each time I restarted the game to check if it worked
  4. All CC are in Documents → Electronic Arts → The Sims 3 → Mods → Packages
  5. Checked the patch version. This might explain some of the CC, but according to the Mod the Sims guide, the no intro mod should always work regardless of the patch
  6. All mods are updated
no cc or mods

    applegocronch  What patch level do you see in the launcher?  The nointro mod should work on any patch level, sure, but the way mods are installed changed with one of the early patches.

    Please also list the full path to nointro.package, as in, right-click it, select Properties > General, and list the Location.  And please confirm that there is a Resource.cfg file directly inside the Mods folder.

    1. Patch is 1.69.47.024017
    2. Full path to nointro.package is C:\Users\molly\Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 3\TS3 Mods\Packages
    3. Resource.cfg is in the packages portion of the Mods folder

    applegocronch  The "TS3 Mods" folder needs to simply be called "Mods" with nothing else in the name.  And Resource.cfg needs to be directly inside Mods, not in Packages.

    It's working now! For some reason, renaming it deleted the folder entirely, but luckily I could restore it. A few mods have mysteriously disappeared, but I should be able to get them back.

    Thank you so much! I can tell you do this a lot lol
