I tried this as well and it did not work for me, sadly. I have like 78 mods but only like 20 of them are working. So much time spent for nothing in return lol.

Hello
Some mods have been broken by the latest patches. It may help to go back to where you downloaded them from and see if updated versions have been released.

@cairo123
So I went back for a few and they said to redownload them since they are now fixed, but they are still not showing up. :( thank you for your help so far though, I do appreciate it. :)

Hello
I am just checking. If the mods are cc package files, make sure that you have extracted the package files out of the zipped folder or the rar file, if they come in zipped :or rar formats. The package files then go into the mods folder. The files need to be extracted out of the zip folder or the rear file.
Try placing the package files directly into the mods folder without being in sub folders.
Check that the files are for sims 4, and not for sims 2 or 3.

It wont let me show the link to the picture of my mod folder, but i do take out the files from the ZIP and the RAR and put it directly into the folders. Idk if I am doing something wrong, lol. I'm sorry if I am bugging you too much about it, but I really love mods haha.

Hello @Arielle08
I am sorry that you are having these issues. Try moving your whole mods folder to the desktop. Launch the game, and a new mods folder will be generated. Exit the game. Then put your mods/cc from the old mods folder into the newly generated mods folder in the sims 4 folder and test to see if the cc then appears.

If a new mods folder is not generated, try doing what I suggested in this post

I need help and idk how asking questions on this forum works. My problem is that I open my Mod folder and there's no additional folders it's just my Resources file. I've turned on Enable Mods and Custom Content and Enable Script Mods but there's still nothing there, what do I do?

Hello @DigiCu
You need to place the cc and mod files into your mods folder.
These links explain about cc and mods

.

I would try moving your mods folder to your desk top (cut and paste) then repair the game (right click on The Sims 4 in Origin and you will see the option). Next, I would copy all of the .package files and cut/paste them to the new Mods folder that the game generates. Do not move the old resource.cfg file. Good luck!

I have around 300 .package files in my Mods folder but after resetting the whole Sims 4 folder in Electronic Arts (as the game wasn't working), my mods don't show up anymore however my tray items do? Not one of them shows up.

Check your Game Options, last page, and make sure your Script Mods box is checked. While you're there, check ALL your options, if you reset the whole folder, they've probably all gone back to default.

Ugh, so frustrating... the same thing is happening to me, but when I try to repair game the option isn't available. So I just cut/pasted my Mods folder contents to a folder on my desktop, restarted the game and quit it, then copied/pasted the contents of the desktop Mods folder back into its place and nada. Actually my mods stopped working a long time ago, so long I can't even remember when but I didn't care too much then - I do now though, I've got all these lovely new hair styles and things that I want to try!
I don't know what to do!

Thanks for your response, I've tried that but nothing. And actually, I can't even see those buttons any more (since buying Get Together a LOT of stuff is missing from my display and I don't know what's what any more) - ffs. Apparently I have to "be around for a little while longer" to post pictures or links.

I have done all of these put together and it's still not working. Only about 15 out of 135 of my mods show up in my game. I am so frustrated. I've spent hours downloading mods just to find out they don't work in my game.
