There used to be loads of slimes spawning just outside my base. It was really handy - nice reliable source of slime balls. I haven't seen any for ages, though - possibly since we upgraded from DW20 to Ultimate? There aren't any spawning in the area my housemate knew about, either. What's going on, and how do we get the slimes back?
Where have the slimes gone?

They only spawn in swamps.
It may also be some mod's configuration of how the slimes spawn, and made them only avalible deep underground in 'slime' chunks.

But ... it's the same world file. And slime chunks are a vanilla mechanic, so exchanging mods won't cause a slime chunk regeneration.
Maybe an update changed the biome? Slime chunks only affect underground, and because your house has an "outside" i assume it is above ground. Make sure you're still in a swamp biome (with f3)
I am using tinkers construct and minecraft 1.5.1 and I cannot find any green slimes anywhere. Its very frustrating.
Is your swamp too well-lit? Unlike cave slimes, swamp slimes are sensitive to light level and require darkness to spawn.

Shows slime chunks. Not sure how well it works in ftb worlds with all the world gen mods and the extra biomes, but could be worth a try if you don't manage to find any on the surface.

IIRC Slime spawning changed a bit in 1.5.x, now they're tied to moon phases. That got an use!

that's only really useful if you don't have Rei's minimap. And to that I say why wouldn't you?
Oh, I didn't know the minimap could show slime chunks. Stupid post was stupid, disregard it...
aye but thankfully it's a clientside mod so anyone with brains can take that useless pile of voxel garbage, shove it in the disabled column, and install the superior Rei's in it's place.
