Sadly, you didn't give details on what exactly doesn't work and which insructions you've followed. Thus it's hard to help and it would be a good idea if you could provide more detailed information. The following are some things you can try:

1. If the alternate attires aren't selectable in the game at all, run Custom Character Tools 2018, then select Utilities->Regenerate Chunk0.def with the Full option.

2. If the alternate attires are selectable but only show up as the first attire in the game when selected, try step 1. as well.
If that doesn't work, the problem is likely that you haven't installed the ch*.pac files for the attires correctly. Name the .pac files properly with the Wrestler ID, attire number and type, then use CCT's Install->CH-Pac file(s) to install them. You can find more details on this process on the Smacktalks Community Wiki entry about installing Mods.

So have you tried CCT's Regenerate Chunk0.def function as I suggested? In case you used something else than Custom Character Tools 2018 to install your mods and/or rebuild the Chunk0.def file after you have used Data Editor to unlock Alternate Attires it might have messed things up and using CCT's Regenerate Chunk0.def function may be able to fix it.
On the other hand that won't help if your attire files have actually been deleted like you say. Data Editor doesn't delete anything, so there must be something else deleting your files.

Yup, that was likely the problem. If you use one of outdated .def file/index rebuilders that come with WWE 2k18+ or the standalone version, it will mess up things with the Universal Alternate Attire Unlock.

Use Custom Character Tools 2018's Utilities->Regenerate Chunk0.def function with the Full option after using WWE 2k18+ and don't use any other Chunk0.def/Index regenerators, then it shouldn't happen anymore in the future, since CCT's regenerator is smart and checks for potential conflicts which the outdated rebuilders which are just simple scripts don't do.

I have told you multiple times. Download Custom Character Tools 2018. Then start it, click on Utilities, then Regenerate Chunk0.def. Do this after you install a new mod/attire manually or WWE 2k18+ (I'd recommend that you install mods/attires via Custom Character Tools 2018's Install->CH-Pac file(s) function in the future -  follow the Information on the Smacktalks Community Wiki page entry Installing Mods for more information on how exactly to do that).

Yes, although it doesn't hurt to clear the .arc file just in case it has been replaced by a full one by Steam again.
