Mods folder gone

I just got a new laptop and i was redownloading sims 4 however the folders in file explorer are all different and there's no mods folder, i googled solutions and tried everything but i still can't get custom content to work, its set up in two folders - typically you would go through electronic arts > the sims 4 > mods however my sims 4 folder is not in electronic arts and is instead in a folder called EA games, i've tried making mods folders in both and it still won't work, i also cannot merge the folders so now i'm lost on how to solve this.
