All Old Households are missing. Please help!

Hi, 

All of my old households/saves are completely gone. I'm not sure when exactly it happened, but I noticed it the other day after downloading and playing a family with Lovestruck for a bit. I had basically all of Willow Creek filled with custom families I'd played with for hours and now it's all reset to the original families/lots. The only saves the game acknowledges are the family I was working on and one random family I played in another neighborhood. 

I've tried all of the troubleshooting I can find on here. My saves are definitely in the right place. I turned off the iCloud/one drive thing. I've got 90+ gigs free on my Mac so I don't think that was the issue anyway. I was playing with a lot of mods but I've removed the entire folder and it didn't fix anything. I tried taking the full sims 4 folder out of documents and then playing the game and placing one of my older saves in the new saves folder and it only shows the one random newish family I was working on, nothing old. This save file was 12.7 megabytes but only showed one family.... So something's clearly up with how my game is reading the save file. I tried repairing the game too but that didn't fix it. 

Does anyone have any other ideas? 

Thanks!!
