Resource.cfg file not regenerating upon relaunch.

The title pretty much says it all. I accidentally permanently deleted my resource.cfg file, and have uninstalled and reinstalled the game twice, relaunched it multiple times and yet a new resource.cfg file still isn't appearing. Yes, my mods folder is located in documents/electronic_arts/sims_4. Can anyone please help get this resource file back? I think this is what is preventing me from accessing my mods in-game.

    @eezie_lorenzo  What previous file path do you mean?  But yes, it should be fine to use that location.

    The fact that you moved the Sims 4 folder and no new folder was created means that's not the folder the game is actually reading.  So I'm guessing the "previous file path" is the correct location, and that's the entire reason for this error.

    @puzzlezaddict Hi, I have moved the entire Sims 4 folder out of my Electronic Arts folder, and moved it to downloads. I have also launched the game, and no new Sims 4 folder has been generated into my Electronic Arts folder.

    I have found that if I just put my mods in the previous file path that I have listed, it works just fine. Just not in the Documents file path. Is it fine if I carry on playing like this?
