Can’t delete mods
If your game is loading Mods then you have Mods in Documents > Electronic Arts > The Sims 4 > Mods. Maybe you have multiple folders due to backups and file management and have been removing the wrong ones? It happens so often. How did you search? If you used Spotlight it's pointless as it actually excludes search results from the Electronic Arts folder when it is in the Documents folder. Please use Terminal to search for your Mods instead, you can search either for the Mods folder or a specific Mod you know is loading into the game. This will show you how many Mods folders or copies of the Mod you have which should help figure out what's going on. I wrote a comprehensive guide here on the commands to use in Terminal https://bluebellflora.com/2021/10/17/using-terminal-to-locate-your-sims-4-files-and-folders/
