I play on a MacBook pro. There was no option to merge. It just said stop or replace. I looked in my thrash and got it back, but it only has like a quarter of my CC, not even the good stuff. I looked in my game, all of it is gone. All of it. What do I do?

If you click Replace when the OS prompts, there is no way to recover the contents. Your only option would be to restore from a backup if you have one, either a manual backup, a Time Machine backup, or an iCloud backup depending on your setup.

I found the mods folder in my trash tough, it just didn't have any CC in it. So there must be a way to get the CC back. I don't have a backup. I don't even know how to get one or anything technological, im just a girl who wants her CC back so she can play the Sims 4

Your CC is gone, unless you have a copy of your original Mods folder somewhere on your machine. You have had multiple Mods folders because, I think, you’ve been moving the Mods folder out of the default Sims 4 folder which forces the game to produce a new one. The new one will be empty. If you then move that new one to the same location as the original Mods folder you moved (dekstop) the OS prompts to Replace or Keep Both. You chose Replace which replaces the old Mods folder with the new one, wiping all previous data.
Your opening post is a little confusing. I don’t understand “I took out my mods folder everything was fine, took out the source and then put my mods folder back” (what source?) and “when I do Electronic Arts> Sims 4> Mods, it has me press mods again” (what are you doing and what are you pressing?)
If you don’t want to permanently lose data, learn how to properly backup your Mac https://support.apple.com/en-gb/mac-backupThe source is the source of the problem I had (my game was crashing a bunch) When I press Electronic Arts>The Sims 4> Mods. Like, to go to the mods folder. (In finder)
