all of a sudden mods are not showing up, not one/a few but none of them

Move mods folder to the desktop. Delete localthumbcache.package file in the game folder
Fix the game in Origin. Origin/library - right click on TS4 - option "repair game"
Turn on the game to create a new mods folder and new resource.cfg file.
Then copy your mods and CC from desktop and paste into a new folder.
Check if the mods are showing now.
If it will not work it means that some configuration file in the game folder is damaged.
In this situation rename The Sims4 folder to The Sims4 old
1. Turn on the game to create a new, virgin folder of the game.
. Delete in the new game folder following folders:
"saves", mods and Tray.
2.. Go to "The Sims 4 old" folder and copy - your "saves " folder.
3, Paste this folder in a newly created game folder
4. Do the same with Tray folder, mods folder and TrayDeleteItems file

5. Delete "The Sims4 old "folder and now you will have only one - I hope working properly

I don't work for EA

The game decided to use another user folder likely on Onedrive or iCloud (Mac). Here is an easy way to find out which folder your game is using: https://sims4.crinrict.com/en/2018/07/how-to-find-your-user-folder

hi, i tried this but when i got to "turn on the game to create a new mods folder", there was no new mods folder after i turned it on. Do i have to create it myself and then put them in? thanks

There will be one in the user folder the game is using.

im sorry im new to this, i dont quite understand?

Please follow the steps in the article to find where the User folder the game uses is located. You just confirmed that it was not using the one you thought since you deleted the Mods folder and it was not recreated when you started the game.
