I have around 300 .package files in my Mods folder but after resetting the whole Sims 4 folder in Electronic Arts (as the game wasn't working), my mods don't show up anymore however my tray items do? Not one of them shows up.

Check your Game Options, last page, and make sure your Script Mods box is checked. While you're there, check ALL your options, if you reset the whole folder, they've probably all gone back to default.

I don't know what to do!
Hello @e01000101 .
Go to game options and check that the " enable custom content and mods" button is ticked, which is found in :
Options | Other | Enable Custom Content and Mods. If it isn't ticked, do that.Also check that the script mods allowed button is ticked as well. Exit the game. Then go back into the game again and see if your cc is there.

With your missing items, do you have empty text boxes? If you do, try doing the solution in this link and see if that helps

If you are missing the "enable cc /mods " button, your game may not be up to date. Try right clicking the sims 4 picture in origin and click " check for updates".
If you are uptodate and the button isn't there, go to your sims 4 folder and move the options.ini or options file to the desktop. Start the game, then go to game options and see if the button is there then.

how would i do that?
Hello
The post was written before there was a patch update, and a new type of resource.cfg file was created. The new resource.cfg allowed for further subfolders.
If you move your mods folder to the desktop, then launch the game, a new mods folder will be generated and have the latest type of resource.cfg file. You can then transfer your cc/mods from the old mods folder into the newly generated mods folder

Hello @cairo123
Try resetting your sims 4 folder and see if that helps. To do that, move your sims 4 folder ( that is in Documents -Electronic Arts - then the sims 4 folder is there ) to the desktop. Then start the game, and a new sims 4 folder will be generated. Exit the game and then add back the "options.ini" or "options " file and the "saves" , "screenshots" "tray" and "custom music "folders from the desktop sims 4 folder to the new sims 4 folder, replacing the new generated file/ folders with the old file/folders that have the same name.
Don't put back the old mods folder. Instead, place your cc/mods into the newly generated mods folder. Then test to see if that helps.

I’ve tried 20 billion ways. I’ve enabled my mods, I’ve copied and pasted from one place to another, I’ve compressed and de compressed. I’ve started to play and exited the game to re enter and see if they show, but nothing. What do I do? NONE of my mods are showing up in my game. Please help.
Hello
Do you use One Drive? If you do it could be causing this issue, Try seeing if there is a mods folder in One Drive . The game may be using that mods folder instead. One Drive can cause issues, It would be best to unsync One Drive and Sims 4.
If you don’t use One Drive, try using the search bar on your computer , and search to see if there may be another mods folder on your computer that the game is using instead of the one directly in the sims 4 folder.
Some simmers have found that a mods folder had been incorrectly generated in their custom music folder. Check all the folders there as well.

Hello @mimithestar13
I am sorry that you are having these issues. Try doing what I suggested in the above post and see if there is another mods folder somewhere else on your computer that the game is using instead of the correct one in Documents-Electronic Arts -Sims 4 folder

Hello
Do you use One Drive or Google Drive? If you do, has a mods folder perhaps been generated there?

I tried this as well and it did not work for me, sadly. I have like 78 mods but only like 20 of them are working. So much time spent for nothing in return lol.
Hello
Some mods have been broken by the latest patches. It may help to go back to where you downloaded them from and see if updated versions have been released.

@cairo123
So I went back for a few and they said to redownload them since they are now fixed, but they are still not showing up. :( thank you for your help so far though, I do appreciate it. :)
Hello
I am just checking. If the mods are cc package files, make sure that you have extracted the package files out of the zipped folder or the rar file, if they come in zipped :or rar formats. The package files then go into the mods folder. The files need to be extracted out of the zip folder or the rear file.
Try placing the package files directly into the mods folder without being in sub folders.
Check that the files are for sims 4, and not for sims 2 or 3.

I am sorry that you are having these issues. Try moving your whole mods folder to the desktop. Launch the game, and a new mods folder will be generated. Exit the game. Then put your mods/cc from the old mods folder into the newly generated mods folder in the sims 4 folder and test to see if the cc then appears.
If a new mods folder is not generated, try doing what I suggested in this post
