all my cc got removed

I really don’t know what happened but my game crashed and i was about to start it again after i removed localthumbcache that I usually do after I installed some mods. I had over 4000 cc and 8 folders in my mods folder and it’s all gone. I’m devastated.. I haven’t copied the files and don’t have it on any backups. I’m playing on a pc and have windows 11, I tried getting it back by windows recovery but it didn’t help.

When I start the game I see everything but every sim has no clothes and the homes are unfurnished. So my save file didn’t get removed and only my mods folder. Is there any way for me to get it back? It literally makes me so sad and i feel so stupid that i didn’t back it up on a drive or something.. Is it gone forever? I HATE this it’s always something with mods.

    Hi @luthienrising No I've never used Onedrive on my PC, I was checking that too but I haven't even logged in on Onedrive. So no..

    @EmNuggetz A few more questions, then. These are to cover other places the Mods file could have got to: Did you check the recycle bin? (Almost certainly you did, just double checking.) Also, have you tried searching the filename of a mod you have? Do you have any other syncing software?

    Next question: What mods were you installing?

    @luthienrising Yes I did check my recycle bin! And nothing was there, I don't have another syncing software (So dumb now that I think of it)

    And I wasn't installing any new mods, my game crashed and I tried the Alt + F4 but nothing happened so I had to close it on activity. So no new mods were installed for my mods to disappear. When my mods disappread before I've just accepted it but now it's over 900 hours of "work" and over 4000 cc.. The thing that's wierd is that the save files are intact so nothing else disappread but the mods folder that is completely wiped. I haven't been able to search for .package but will do it when I'm back home.

    @EmNuggetz The question about syncing software was partly because some other non-OneDrive option might have caused problems and partly for somewhere to look.

    When you get home, if you could do that search and also do this check of user folder location to make sure you're in the right place -- https://sims4.crinrict.com/eng/2018/07/how-to-find-your-user-folder/  -- we can at the very least rule out some more possibilities. We're also expecting a game update today, so make a copy elsewhere of that saves folder FIRST!
