Mods Sims 4 Please Help

Question

Okay, so I will try to explain the best I can with minimal words and some semblance of coherence.

MY MODS ARE NOT WORKING to put it simply.&nbsp;

I logged in after the new update a couple days ago. Naturally, my mods were all messed up as they usually are after updates.&nbsp;😬

I can not for the life of me figure out what is going on. I updated them all, I replaced what needed replacing I enabled them in the game and they will not SHOW UP.
I have deleted the mods folder, I have looked for other mod folder on my computer. Im rocking a MacBook Pro (2020) &nbsp;and for whatever reason I had multiple mods folders so I deleted them and tried to recreate a new folder by way of google instruction. I deleted the cache, the localthumbnail folder thing. ive deleted and re downloaded the mods I use like 6 different times. Ive repaired my game probably 4 times and I have entered and exited the home screen probably 20 times.

I have now spent probably all together 6 hours scouring google on how to fix this issue over the course of two days. I tried creating a new mods folder.&nbsp;
At one point I got the game to recognize the 'animations' of but not the actual mod itself.

I may honestly go insane. Some one must have step by step instructions on how to fix this issue before I throw my computer in my pool.&nbsp;

HELLP

@Moth_flame4&nbsp; Please right-click on the folder that contains your mods and select Get Info, then copy and paste the file path you see under Where.&nbsp; Please also post a screenshot of the contents of the folder.&nbsp; You can click cmd-shift-4 and drag your cursor over the screen; the screenshot will land on your desktop.

@Moth_flame4&nbsp; Please open the game and find the full file path to the folder it's reading, as described here:

https://sims4.crinrict.com/eng/2018/07/how-to-find-your-user-folder/

List that file path here.&nbsp; You can write [username] instead of your actual username, but let me know if you see the wrong username, as in, not the one you use to sign into Windows&nbsp; And please leave the rest of the file path intact.

Next, open that file path, at least up to the Sims 4 folder, and let me know whether it has a Mods folder inside.
