Origin/EA App is irrelevant when it comes to the user data folder. The user data folder is the Sims 4 folder located in Documents > Electronic Arts. The game will only load from this location, nowhere else. If there is no Electronic Arts > The Sims 4 folder in Documents the game will simply create a new one when launched. What is the exact location of that Electronic Arts folder in your screenshot?
This folder is located at Documents > Electronic Arts. Even after uninstalling and deleting files, and reinstalling, the folders are still not there after reopening the game.
The game installation is irrelevant and has no effect on the Electronic Arts > The Sims 4 folder, uninstalling and reinstalling is not going to fix your problem.
Please do a Terminal search for the Mods folder. Open Terminal (Applications > Utilities) and copy and paste the following command then hit enter/return:
find ~ -type d -name "*Mods*" 2>/dev/nullIt will take a while. Once the command prompt reappears it has finished the search. Copy and paste the results here please.
The results i got:

I tried this, don't know if it's pointless:
paige@Paiges-MacBook-Air Documents % cd/Users/paige/Documents/Electronic Arts/The Sims 4/Mods
zsh: no such file or directory: cd/Users/paige/Documents/Electronic
paige@Paiges-MacBook-Air Documents %
It's like my original documents folder doesn't exist? I have no idea how I did that or if that's even the case
/Users/paige/Library/Mobile Documents/com~apple~CloudDocs/Mods
What's in that Mods folder?
/Users/paige/Documents/Electronic Arts/The Sims 4/Mods
This is where your Mods need to be and it does exist.
paige@Paiges-MacBook-Air Documents % cd/Users/paige/Documents/Electronic Arts/The Sims 4/Mods
What were you trying to do here? That isn't a recognised command which is why you received the error. Is your internal drive named cd and not Macintosh HD? There is also no instruction before the file path. Or were you trying to "change directory" into the Mods folder in Terminal? That command would be:
cd ~/Documents/Electronic\ Arts/The\ Sims\ 4/Modsor
cd ~/Documents/"Electronic Arts"/"The Sims 4"/Mods
