Well first, check your Trash/Recycling Bin on your computer to see if it's still there. Make sure whenever CC is installed you have "Enable Custom Content And Mods" checked, and some CC even requires "Enable Script Mods" to be checked too. If your mods folder isn't in the Trash/Recycling Bin, and you have all of the CC you want to put back in there, just go into the Sims 4 directory where you'd normally put CC, and create a folder and name it "Mods" (With the capital "M") and then put your items in there. I hope I was clear enough, and I hope you get your problem solved! Cheers!
what if just making a new folder doesn't work?

Hi @simmercutie1,
Creating the folder is not enough as you need a file resource.cfg inside your folder for mods to work.
If it's missing, the Mods folder and resource file will be regenerated by the game the next time you open your game. Once the game has created the Mods folder and the resource file inside it, you can install your games as usual.

I also deleted my mods file to regenerate since resource.cfg was corrupted and not letting my CC work. I opened my game, played for a bit and quit but the mods file had not regenerated. Please help me ☹️. Thanks
Yeah what if new folder doesnt work
- OH THANK GOD!! you saved my life. I was so worried that I would have to re-download every single mod I got. 500 of them
Hey so I read this because my mods folder got deleted also ! it was very helpful but how do I get to my sims directory
Did your folder get deleted or does your mods not show up in game? The file directory is your folder, what exactly are you asking for?
Usually you have the mods in C:\Users\Username\Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 4\mods, if you deleted them, check your trash can.If you have the mods in the folder but they're not showing up in game:
I guess you double checked that script mods and cc were activated in the game options? Both of them?
And then you have mods that do not work? All mods or just some? If it's just some mods that do not work, which ones?
If no mods show up in your game
- Did you place them in C:\Users\Username\Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 4\Mods
- Do the game register that there are mods? Do they show up in the list in the beginning or if you open the mods list from the options menu?
- Do you have OneDrive on your computer? Make sure that the game is not using the OneDrive-folders. Try turning off OneDrive before starting the game.
You can check where the game saves your files by looking in your Game Options - Screenshot settings.
Make sure that the path above is the same place as where you have your saves and mods.
I have one drive. How do turn off one drive?
