My game won't open and I think it has to do with my CC?

Whenever I try to open The Sims 4 through the EA app, the game's icon will bop up and down before opening the EA app and directing me back to the EA home screen. I found a couple of mods that had caused issues before and I deleted and the issue seemed to be solved, but this time it's like no matter how much CC I delete it's not enough.

The issue seems to be connected with my mods folder, but it no matter how much I try to downsize it (from 13,21 GB to 9,17 GB) it won't work - whenever I delete the mods it'll work, but the minute I add mods the issue starts once again and the amount of mods supported seems to dwindle - it went from supporting 13,21 GB to 12 GB to 10GB and now it won't work with the aforementioned 9,17 GB.

I have been spending the last few days raking through my mods seeing what I need, use, like, etc - but it just won't work? A lot of the mods are from Patreon creators I'm supporting so it's kind of bittersweet to have to delete a few of them, I have an extra folder not linked to the game where I have them since I plan on buying a PC with better specs and what-not. But until now, I'm kind of lost. Could that also be affecting it? It doesn't make sense to me but at this point nothing does tbh. It keeps saying that the last time I played was today, but I haven't been able to even get to the Main Menu in three days ATP.

This is the only information I can think of giving is the following:

CC wanted: 9,17

Latest version of TS4 as of 4-11-24

Macbook Air

Memory: 8 GB

Chip: Apple M1

MacOS: macOS Sequoia, Version 15.1

Storage: Macintosh HD

60,75 GB available of 245,11 GB

77,4 GB used by other Users

System Data: 1,69 GB

I'll be completely honesty, I'm completely technically illiterate which means I'm probably missing something that's super obvious, but I'm super lost at this point. If I'm accidentally doxxing myself, please tell me too - I cannot understate how bad I am at this whole tech thing.
