@WintersCoven That really sounds like the file isn't actually removed. Try this: https://sims4.crinrict.com/eng/2014/09/resetting-the-game-to-factory-settings-without-reinstalling/ You'll still have your old files there to put back in the new folders, but you'll have a true clean start (and a chance to check if that was really the user folder the game was seeing or a duplicate somewhere else). It can also clean out lots of glitching in general.
Thank you! Sorry things took so long, life threw hands. I had to do a deep dive of the mods folders i had and found some that were named in funky manners and is why i had missed them before. Things are all good now!
