@scarletwood Did you delete the five cache files in the Sims 3 user folder when you added back the custom content? Actually, try deleting them again now, regardless. For reference, they are:
If that doesn't help, try starting with a clean user folder. Move the Sims 3 folder out of Documents > Electronic Arts, open the launcher to spawn a clean folder, set up the Mods framework again, add one mod, and make sure it shows in-game, and that no other mods are showing. (This is to control for the possibility that the game is using a second Sims 3 folder somewhere on your computer.) If everything is as expected, download a fresh copy of one of the .package files that hasn't been working and see whether it shows up.
Okay so I created a whole new file, and I set up all the mod framework again. I added one package file to the folder to see if packages would show up in game, when I went into build mode it was not there. I have no idea why it is doing this, the resource cfg file is in the mods folder and no other mod files are connected to it.
@scarletwood Can you send me links to a couple of the items that aren't working? It would have to be by private message, since links to mods and custom content aren't allowed on this site. I'll check them out in my game and see if I can spot any issues. And if they don't work for me either, perhaps they're just broken.
