Sims 3 Mods won’t work

So I have sims 3 installed via steam, I own every expension and stuff pack except Katy perry sweet treats, and I already deleted all cache files, reset my game, removed and re added mods, I also have resource.cgf and cc.merged as well some “ mods “ work and some don’t which I don’t understand why? I also checked in my folder to make sure deviceconfig was in there which it was, so yesterday I downloaded the (nointro mod) which automatically skips the sims 3 intro when you launch the game, that specific mod showed up in my game when I downloaded it and added it in my mods folder, but when I put any other mod and package file none of them show up which I don’t know understand why? 

I have looked on my computer everywhere to see if sims 3 was reading another folder but that’s not the case It’s reading one specific folder so I don’t understand why every mod won’t work and only specific ones? 

Also the mods folder was just working and every mod in my game use to work once downloaded and always showed up but now none of them won’t show up anymore I’ve tried every step I could I just can’t get mods to work anymore.

  • @Chloe2445  The first three screenshots are irrelevant, but the last two make the issue clear: the folders that contain your mods and cc are directly within the Mods folder.  You need to put them into the Packages folder that's inside Mods.

    After moving the mods and cc to Packages, delete the five cache files in the Sims 3 folder:

    • CASPartCache.package
    • compositorCache.package
    • scriptCache.package
    • simCompositorCache.package
    • socialCache.package
