Sims 4 Mods not showing up

So, I recently got a new gaming laptop. I use mods and CC when I play Sims 4, and all mods I currently use have been working on my old laptop just fine. I transferred the files to a flashdrive to be ...

@purplekitty2800 You might have multiple folders called "Mods". Make sure you're using the right one by this method: https://sims4.crinrict.com/eng/2018/07/how-to-find-your-user-folder/

OneDrive is a common cause of this kind of mod-folder problem. If you have any Sims 4 content inside OneDrive, head here to find out how to stop OneDrive from interfering: https://answers.ea.com/t5/Technical-Issues-PC/CURRENT-ISSUE-Sims-4-saves-user-content-disappearing-PC/td-p/12475370

I moved the Mods folder to my desktop and deleted that file and then readded my cc but when I open the game they still dont show up when I go to view my Mods/CC on the start screen in options. Is this a problem from broken cc or something else?

Your game might search for mods in a different location than where your mods are actually stored. Don't worry, that happens quite often.

Please check the folder, where the game is looking for your files.

Launch your game to the main menu
Select "Load Game" from the navigation bar on the right
Click on your most recent save. You will see a small icon that looks like two overlapping squares next to the save game's thumbnail.
Hover with your mouse over the that Icon . A pop up will show you the path where your Sims 4 user folder can be found

Note that with that method you'll get the path to your saves. Default value is \Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 4\Saves

Your mods should be in a different subdirectory. Default value is \Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 4\Mods

Compare the path with the path you're currently using for your mods. If you use another folder, copy your mods to the mods folder, where the game can find them.

I did this, and I did notice they were in a different folder. I moved them to the new folder and tried to start the game, it came up with the same message as before. I attached a picture so you can see the message.

  Then you need to follow the steps to figure out which ones are broken.

    I did 50-50 until the game opened, but even then they dont show up when i go to options and view Mods/CC, so I'm a little confused. I checked and they are in the right folder.
