Why are my script mods not working?

Your script mods are not working because the game is unable to find them due to incorrect placement in the Mods folder, or script mods are not enabled in the game options, or the mods themselves are outdated or corrupted. To resolve the issue, ensure that script mods are placed no more than one level deep in the Sims 4 mod folder structure, enable script mods and custom content in the game options, and restart the game.
