New update wont let me to enable mods

So, after updating our mods are disabled, right? Classic, I thought. I went to the menu-other-mods. I closed the game, I open it again, and it opened me the same message: mods are disable. I did it multiple times, to see if it going to let me through just by lucky convince, but it didn't.
I went to technical support, did all that I suggested and it didn't work.
I reloaded my pc. it didnt work.
I uninstall and install game. It didn't work.
Did this:
- Remove mod files inside the "Mods" folder
- Check EA App about the online status
- Open the game and allow To Enable custom content and mods plus Script Allowed, and click on "View Custom Content" so show at the start up
- Copy the mod files into the TS4 Mods folder but do not overwrite the new resource.CFG
DIDNT WORK. But!
What I noticed: when I deleted the old mods folder and opened the game, changed mod setting and opened the game again, IT ACTUALY SAVED MY SETTINGS! But after I copied mods files and opened game again, it SHOWED THE SAME MESSAGE AGAIN: MODS ARE DISABLE.
Okay? That's something new.
So, the right thing, I decided to download the updated version of any random mod (wickedsims don't judge me.) and no, it still won't let me enable mods again, even with updated versions of mods. Im in total dispare.
I don't know what to do AT ALL.
Help me.
Please.

I had the same exact issue. Kept disabling them again every time I restarted the game after enabling them.

What I did is delete the options file and localthumbcache file and then also found a post on EA site saying to do that and another saying it was possibly your anti-virus causing the issue by blocking the folder. Especially if using AVG or Avast which I use Avast.

I just disabled my virus scanners shields temporarily, went into game, turned my mods back on and went back in and they stayed enabled. Thne re-enabled my scanners shields and everything is working as normal now.
