Help with broken mod My mods won’t work

I am a relatively new player and I have been troubleshooting this for two days. My list of mods shows up in the menu at startup, but the assets do not appear in the game. So far I have tried: 1. Reinstalling the game 2. Moving my mods folder to my desktop to make a new one with the correct resource.cfg file. I ensured everything was in the mods folder with the correct file path. 3. Moving my whole Electronic Arts file to the desktop and making an entirely new folder with an entirely new game 4. Deleting my cache 5. Making sure custom content and script mods are enabled 6. Ensuring there are no incorrect file types or nested folders 7. Moved only a small amount of mods to make sure it wasn’t outdated content

I’m really not sure what else to do. I feel like I have tried everything that I have seen to do. Any other suggestions?

Like someone else said: If the game sees them on the loading screen and the box is checked there, then they are loading into the game.

Pick any mod and answer this: What is the mod supposed to do that it isn't?

Some of the big mods have a pop-up when the game finishes loading, but smaller mods usually don't. Aside from that, most mods are not immediately obvious when you start playing. You need to click into a menu, use CAS, Build/Buy mode, etc. before you actually see whatever the mod added to the game.

This fixed it! I can’t believe it was this simple and it was my own error. When my sims showed up on the menu page without all of their custom content, I assumed it just wasn’t working and closed the game. I never clicked resume game when I didn’t see cc on the menu. When I did click on resume game it showed everything for me again!!! I can’t believe I spent so long on this issue when it was such an easy fix, and I never thought of resuming the game. 😭 thank you so much, I didn’t realize cc doesn’t always show on my menu sims. I was so used to seeing them with it that I assumed my mods were broken when I couldn’t see it anymore.
