Resource cfg problem
I have the resource cfg file for the mods folder but it has a different icon than normal and my mods still don't show in game.

The placement of the mods does need to correct but there may be a slightly better way to describe it for TS3. There needs to be three and only three things in the Mods folder:
1 - A sub-folder called Packages (this is where the mods and other package based content go, and the package files can be nested up to five levels deep in sub-folders inside of that). Anything that is zipped or otherwise compressed needs to be unzipped first.
2 - A sub-folder called Overrides (usually empty unless a mod developer says something specifically needs to go in here).
3 - The Resource.cfg file. It doesn't matter what icon or auto-enter association the file has because the game doesn't open the file for use, it just reads it.
There should be no mods or any other files in the Mods folder as anything extra besides the two sub-folder and the one Resource.cfg file can get in the way.
After placing things correctly, the five cache files (for mods most notably the scriptCache.package file) on the top level of the TS3 user game folder in Documents where all of this is going needs to be cleared (deleted). This needs to happen at least somewhat routinely, but certainly whenever the contents of Mods\Packages changes in any way.
