The mods folder or resource.cfg folder won’t regenerate upon reinstall/relaunch

I’m not sure what happened but my resource.cfg file just disappeared one day and I haven’t been able to relocate it what so ever, I have reinstalled the game multiple times and it still doesn’t reappear along with the mods folder, I’m sure you can manually put in a mods folder and a resource.cfg will regenerate inside it upon launching the game but that hasn’t worked out for me either; I have tried to follow tutorials and all to help me and even looked on here and I either can’t figure it out/find it or don’t understand. Could someone help me?
