Mods wont work after update

When I opened the game a pop up appeared saying that things were missing from the game. My mods haven't been working since then. I went to settings to make sure that my mods were turned on and they were. I also tried repairing the game but my mods still aren't working. I have over 200 mods and none of them are working so I doubt that the mods themselves is the problem.

    Please remove all Mods and CC. Look for updates where you got them.

    If you haven't, you may need to clear your game cache and delete the localthumbcache.package from the Sims 4 folder to help with troubleshooting.

    How to Delete Cache Files

    Custom content can become outdated with most new game patches. If the game works when the Mods folder is removed, then one or more of the mods and/or custom content has become outdated and will need to be removed or replaced. EA/Maxis aren't responsible for broken mods/cc. It's up to the creators to fix.

    Disabling or turning off both mod/cc options isn't enough of a test.

    If you're still having issues, try the 50/50 method:

    1. Move all the mods and cc out into a temporary folder on the desktop.
    2. Move a few files back at a time. Load the game to make sure it loads and everything is good.
    3. Delete the localthumbcache.package from the Sims 4 folder.
    4. Repeat steps 1 - 3 till there is no more files to check.

    ** While your testing, don't save the game. If you find any problems, delete the mod or custom content file.
