What's in that Mods folder?

This is where your Mods need to be and it does exist.

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/Mods
or
cd ~/Documents/"Electronic Arts"/"The Sims 4"/ModsI was trying to change directory. I don't know much about Mac, obviously. I was once able to have mods in my game. I've played with mods for years and I definitely know where they are supposed to go, but I'm unable to access that folder. I've even played with mods on this specific Mac before. When this issue first occurred, I went to add more cc to my folder and couldn't find "Documents" on the side. I searched for it, and it was in the cloud, so I downloaded it again and moved it over. Since then, my whole Sims folder is busted. When I would open my game, my mods were no longer there, and I've tried many ways to get them back. The folder isn't currently in the cloud, so I don't know what the issue is from looking at it on my end. As well as me not knowing what I'm looking at on a Mac, period. But my current documents folder has an "electronic arts" folder thats pictured in my first post, and there is nothing more after that. If you know how I can directly open that mods folder please let me know. Thanks for trying to help

Open a new Finder window then click on Go > Go to Folder in the menu bar. In the pop up window copy/paste this file path then hit return/enter:
~/Library/Mobile Documents/com~apple~CloudDocs/ModsThe Finder window will open to that Mods folder. Are your Mods in that Mods folder?

This is a simple user preference in Finder. Apple have a guide here on customising the Finder sidebar https://support.apple.com/en-gb/guide/mac-help/mchl83c9e8b8/mac

Yes there is, the Terminal output confirms this:
/Users/paige/Documents/Electronic Arts/The Sims 4/ModsAre your Mods in that Mods folder? I suspect not because you state they are not loading.
You have two Mods folders as I have explained above. You need to open both of them and see which one your Mods are in.
