So.
Out of the blue, my mods stopped showing up. It was as though the game forgot mods exist overnight and rendered the folder, which was still there and still had every single one of the exact same files that had always been there, completely irrelevant? I didn't touch the folder. I did nothing different. I hadn't installed anything new, in the game or on my computer generally. I hadn't touched any of the mods folder, or any of the game folders, at all. This problem happened out of the blue without me doing anything other than quit the game last night, all CC intact, and load it this morning, all CC intact.....but with the game behaving as though it were empty. And yes, I checked, I have custom content and script mods enabled.
I tried removing my mods, deleting the folder and restarting my game so that it generated a new one. I put my mods back in that new folder, making sure there were no subfolders and nothing installed but the correct package and script files, exactly the same way as they were last night. Nothing. No popup on the start menu, a dialogue when I loaded my save telling me 34 items from build mode had been removed because I didn't have the items installed on my account....despite the mods folder and everything in it being exactly where it had always been, which is exactly where it is supposed to be, all files intact and correctly installed.
So I checked to see if there was a game update. There wasn't; everything was good to go. I tried repairing the game... and now it's not even generating a mods folder *at all*. I've restarted the game about four times. No mods folder. Mods enabled. Nothing I do generates a mods folder. I even tried manually creating one, redownloading a mod, putting it in the folder and ???? Nothing. Zilch.
I suppose I should expect at this point that EA doesn't care about dealing with bugs (I'm still waiting on the toddler-starvation-by-parents-incessently-taking-them-in-and-out-of-high-chairs and musical chairs fixes, cough), which is why the game is unplayable without the substantial amounts of CC that have stopped working for no discernible reason whatsoever. :/
