@LillMopl Mods need to go in Documents > Electronic Arts > The Sims 4 > Mods, not inside the game's program files. The only (safe) way to move your mods and other user data to an external drive is with a symbolic link; otherwise, the game won't know where to look for your mods.
Please let me know how you moved the Mods folder, but don't do anything else yet. Instead, try adding a new mod to the Mods folder in Documents (as above) and let me know whether it shows up in-game.
I did get it to work. I dont know how it works, but apparently my mods folder is not located on my external harddrive, where my game is on. I have been playing with mods for many years now, and it has worked fine. When I moved my game to an external hard drive, my mods did end up working, however when I added more mods using the exact same method as I always have, it just didnt show up in game.

@LillMopl Do you still need help with this? If so, please let me know where you would like your Mods folder and other user data (saves, saved households and builds, etc.) to be located, and where it's currently located. If you want to double-check the location, here's how:
