I got a new computer last week and after setting it up as a new one instead of using the data from my old one my mods are not showing up in game. I have tried the following and they have not worked.making sure mods are turned onremoving localthumbcache and multiple other filesremoving the mods folder from my files (yes i did files>ea>sims 4>mods) and placing it on my desktop and then restarting the game in order to generate a new mods folder, i just never got a new mods folderturning off mods, exiting the game, repairing the game, turning on mods back on and then restarting once againit's not just that the mods aren't working or are out of date, they're not listed as being installed at all when i boot up the game despite the fact that they should be.

@ivyshaye In that case you are not looking in the correct place. Here is an easy way to find out which folder your game is using: https://sims4.crinrict.com/eng/2018/07/how-to-find-your-user-folder/

CC isn't showing up/no new mods folder

I got a new computer last week and after setting it up as a new one instead of using the data from my old one my mods are not showing up in game. I have tried the following and they have not worked.

making sure mods are turned on
removing localthumbcache and multiple other files
removing the mods folder from my files (yes i did files>ea>sims 4>mods) and placing it on my desktop and then restarting the game in order to generate a new mods folder, i just never got a new mods folder
turning off mods, exiting the game, repairing the game, turning on mods back on and then restarting once again

it's not just that the mods aren't working or are out of date, they're not listed as being installed at all when i boot up the game despite the fact that they should be.

Then you only need to start the game for the mods folder to be recreated.
