My mods aren't working, despite showing up at startup menu

So I have this problem that mods did show up at startup, but when I go in game or CAS, they don't work. A few mods showed up at startup, but not all of them. 

When I got in game, my sims disappeared and I couldn't select anything. I deleted some mods (mainly sacrificials mod) and my sims did come back, but not a single mod worked. 

I reinstalled the mod, TWICE. Someone please help me😭😭😭.

    Some your mod or CC is outdated after the patch and it is causing this error
    1. Move the mods folder to the desktop.
    2. Find and delete localthumbcache.package file in the game folder. Delete also all folders with the word "cache" in the name.
    3. Fix the game in Origin.
    Origin/Library - right-click on TS4 - option "Repair game"
    You have to wait until Origin will fix all packs, not only the base game.
    4. Turn on the game to create a new, empty mods folder
    5. Check if there are new updated versions of the mods and CC you are using.
    Then copy from desktop your mods and CC and paste it in the new mods folder. First, paste script mods one by one every time checking if the game is OK.
    Do the same with CC but if you have a lot of this, try the 50/50 method. divide your CC into smaller batches for example 50 pieces in one subfolder and check these subfolders one by one)

    I did the steps, except for repairing because I'm not sure how to do it with the EA app, but my MCC and Meet and Mingle mods are not loading in game. All my CC is working and I'm not sure what to do.

    On the ea app you have to click on your game ( do not push play) and then click on manage and repair is the second to last option
