I still think load order matters so Wicked Whims should load before Animations. Mods/WickedWhimsMod (2 files named TURBODRIVER in here) Mods/Wicked Animations (install all animations in here) Wicked also has trouble loading and updating animations sometimes and might need more time or several saves and restarts. You also won't see animations that are not for your your sims gender or locations you might not have for certain objects unless you have many animations installed. Some of the new WW settings might prevent you from seeing every animation you have installed. But in Wicked Settings Disable Animations menu you should see all of them but if not just allow more time for Wicked to update it's data as it will usually catch up after some time.

Sometimes it depends on which game updates and which WW updates as major updates of either one can be fickle. Anytime WW has a major version update it might have some bugs that need fixing later. I had the same problem some time ago when updating WW 1.65 to 1.66 many animations didn't show up anymore in the lists. TURBO had changed the way data was being saved and had to import old data and convert it to the new format and was having troubles. But others had no problems. Plus sometimes Wicked settings get reset back to defaults when updating. But in my case I had many animations disabled before the update and that might have caused it IDK as it's hard to determine the exact cause sometimes but eventually things started working again.

If you mean merging them it's a bad idea as these are updated over time and when you want new versions you will have duplicates hidden inside the merged file. Combining all the animations in one folder name Mods/Wicked Animations is the correct way.
