@pomk786 The five cache files I listed will regenerate as soon as you open the launcher, that's normal. The point is to force the game to create new nes to refresh their data.
Could you please post a screenshot of the Packages folder inside the folder in the same style as you did before? As in, with the file path showing, and the entire contents of Packages listed.
Oh, I see. All righty, I've attached two photos in case one didn't display what you meant correctly
@pomk786 What patch level does your game have? You can see it in the lower left corner of the launcher, among many other places. Please list the full number.
@pomk786 That's the issue: your patch level is so old, it predates the mods setup that you're using. (The way to install mods was changed in I think 2010.) The fastest way to get to patch 1.67 is by running the Super Patch, an EA-made tool that does all the work at once. You can download it here, under "Cumulative Base Game Super Patcher":
It's a good idea to move your Sims 3 user data folder out of Documents\Electronic Arts first, run the patch, start the game once to make sure it's working, then transfer any content you want to keep from the old folder to the new one. Here's a complete list of everything you'll find in that folder:

If the mods still don't work, just download a fresh copy of the Mods Framework, add it to the new user data folder, and delete the cache files again.
