Game won't open with due to a "corrupted mod" error, at my wits end

I've been getting last exceptions for a while, so I decided to try and make a new mods folder and transfer all my ccs to there to see if it changes anything. After I did that, the ccs that were working completely fine until now suddenly were corrupted and the game won't boot anymore.

- I wiped the entire mods folder and redownloaded them all fresh, apparently they're still "corrupted"

- The game opens without mods

- None of the mods are conflicting

- I tried repairing the game

- Deleting localthumbdrive and other cache didn't work

- Deleting the mod that the error message states is corrupted just brings up a long repeating sequence with all of the other mods in the folder

I'm just considering throwing in the towel and starting over at this point, but it's painful because I have so many sims and custom builds I spent hours on. I turned google upside down and nothing I saw has solved it so far

edit: Sorry, I'm an idiot and didn't see that I was in the mac section. My computer is a windows 10

    You cannot just create your own mods folder. The game only use the mods folder that it creates.

    Move your Mods folder to the Desktop and delete localthumbcache.package. Then test the game in a new save.
    If it works now check for updates to your Mods and CC. Add it back a little at a time while testing until you have found all that are broken.
