@DragonKingUK95 Which mods are you using? Please don't post links, but listing them is fine, or you can post a screenshot of the contents of the Packages folder.
Alternately, remove the entire Mods folder and download a fresh copy of the Mods Framework from here:

Don't add any more mods, at least not yet. Just see whether the two sample mods work, and if they do, you can add more mods a few at a time.
Whenever you add or remove a mod, be sure to delete scriptCache.package from the Sims 3 user folder.
I got over 600 mods easily. As for what mods I am using, I'm using several skins, including some nsfw realistic skins which I can't seem to get working. Nraas mods, mods for seasons and pets, such as no peeing inside, no digging and improved weather machine, tons of fixes such as item fixes.
After a lot of trial and error I can load in now no problem but I don't know how to tell if a mod is working or not. If they don't show up on the detected scripts pop up at the beginning does that mean they aren't working?
Note: I bought seasons today which is why I including those mods.
@DragonKingUK95 Not all mods show up in the initial screen. Tuning mods in particular won't, at least in general, nor will anything that's custom content, for example custom skins, clothing, or furniture. That list really only includes script mods or at least mods with a scripted component, as in, mods that add scripted commands to the game.
It's also possible that the list at the Main Menu can't display everything if the number of mods is over a certain limit. I don't actually know for sure, but it happens elsewhere in-game, for example with saves.
For NRaas mods, you can always see a menu for any mod that's loaded if you click on City Hall and select NRaas. For other mods, if they don't provide a user interface, they might not show in-game; check the documentation to find out whether they're supposed to add any user-accessible functions. As an example, a pure tuning mod can change the percent chance of an interaction, or block or enable it for autonomous, and it probably doesn't include a user interface because there's nothing to change.
For custom content, just look in CAS or wherever the content is supposed to show up. The presence of the realistic skins should be obvious enough the first time your sims change into their naked outfits.
