If all your mods are gone in Sims 4, it's likely due to a game update or you've mistakenly disabled mods in your game settings. First, check your game settings to ensure 'Enable Custom Content and Mods' is ticked. If it is and your mods are still missing, try relocating your Mods folder to your desktop, then start the game to create a new Mods folder, and finally, move your mods back to the newly created folder. Always remember to back up your mods regularly to avoid losing them.
