You can just rename the Mods folder to Mods Backup or something else in the Sims 4 folder, the game will only load mods if they are in a folder called "Mods". You can't place it on the desktop because then you will be moving it back onto your internal drive.
You should always take your Mods out before updating, as explained in my previous reply.
I would recommend reading the symlink guide through a couple of times before even attempting to do it so you fully understand what you're doing and how normal troubleshooting steps may not work the same way 🙂

ok got it, that helps me out so much. Thank you for your quick responses, I really appreciate your help!
i am trying to create the symlink, read it through a couple times but I’m getting stuck. I completed step one of moving the electronic arts folder to the external drive… but it won’t allow me to do the symlink part. It keeps saying “zsh: command not found” this what I’m putting in terminal:
In -s /Volumes/Gaming\ Hard/Drive/Electronic \ Arts ~/Documents/
(my hard drive is named Gaming Hard Drive)
Is this wrong?

Yes. Check your spaces and slashes. Your command indicates the name of the external drive is "Gaming Hard" and the Electronic Arts folder is within another folder called "Drive". You also have an erroneous space after Electronic.
