[no longer a current issue] many .package mods + cc not loading

My game updated today (automatically even tough I have turned this setting off) and when I opened it, at the start up menu it flashed a few of my expansions packs as if I had just installed them for the first time which I found quite strange. When I loaded my save file, all of my mods were not showing up which didn't surprise me at first as an update occurred. I went to my settings, ticked to enable mods and restarted my game.

When my game relaunched, none of my mods showed up, despite my folder being fine: no outdated mods, no files in the wrong folder etc. I played my game less than a week ago without zero issues.

When I go to my settings, the games recognises all of my files, however they aren't showing up in game. My sims are either pitch black or bright pink and you cannot see any details other than their eyes. I reloaded my game again and went into CAS, and only five files are showing up which again makes zero sense.

Usually when files are removed, the game will say:  "One or more create a sim items have been removed. The items may not be installed on your computer or the EA account that is currently logged in does not own these items" then number the amount of items removed, however this time it isn't showing anything that.

I also cannot play my game what so ever, I cannot click on anything. In Live mode I can pause/unpause and time will go by, Sims will do their own thing but I cannot command anything, I can't right/left click on anything. 

I have repaired my game via the EA app, cleared my cache, but the issue still persists. I have also tried removing my Mods folder completely which solves the issue of being able to click on anything, but none of the individual folders seem to work when I do the 50/50 method. I've tried adding just one singular mod into my game at a time and it still does not work.
