Game not working after installing mods

Hello fellow mayors.

I've followed many instructions to install mods for my game on a Macbook, and they are not working. I have previously installed an update that gave me one-way streets but I think it was an automatic update, months and months ago. So I've had one-way streets and don't see any UDON packages in the folder except the one I just installed. 

I've even uninstalled/reinstalled SC after deleting the installed files and redone the whole process, but not working.

I can see the new UI with all the extra buttons now, but they don't have any content. I've attached a screen shot of the SimCityData folder - is something missing?

Thanks in advance - I am totally addicted to this game.

Did you install all the mods at the same time without testing them one at a time first?  If you did, uninstall all the mods. Get the game working in an un-modded state.  Then install one mod.  Run the game and see if it works.  If it does, then install the next mod.  Repeat the process until you reach a mod that either doesn't work or conflicts with another mod and makes it stop working.  If you find a mod that doesn't work, either don't install that mod or search online to see if there is a solution to get it working.

Remember, do one change at a time.  If you make a lot of changes at once, it becomes almost impossible to troubleshoot an issue.

    Thanks Prophet42.

    I dragged the entire SC app into the trash, then reinstalled from Origin. It ran fine on a new game and my saved games were there. I quit the app, d/l the akar package and put in the SimCityData folder. I ran SC again and the extended UI is there, but without content on the new buttons (see attached). Then I d/l the UDON package, ran SC and nothing had changed. I quit SC, quit Origin and restarted both. Still no contents to the new buttons. I'm stopping now until I know what to do next. Getting the joneses here...

    I think I figured it out. Seems to be working now. Took a while though.
