@Bluebellflora oh, I didn't realize that! Thank you for letting me know. Also, unfortunately, I did check my iCloud drive and even searched my whole computer for the folder. I somehow have 6 Mod folders and not a single one has any of my CC or mods, unfortunately.

@UserMnk11611 

Try doing a search this way to find any erroneous Mods folders. Open Terminal in your Applications > Utilities folder and copy/paste the following command then hit Enter/Return:

find ~ -type d -name "*Mods*" 2>/dev/null

Give it a moment to return the results then please copy/paste the results here.

    @Bluebellflora Okay, here it is! Also, I'm replacing my name with 'user' just for privacy reasons:
    /Users/USER/Library/Mobile Documents/com~apple~CloudDocs/The Sims 4 copy-version1/Mods
    /Users/USER/Library/Mobile Documents/com~apple~CloudDocs/The Sims 4/Mods
    /Users/USER/Library/Mobile Documents/com~apple~CloudDocs/The Sims 4-test/Mods
    /Users/USER/Library/Mobile Documents/com~apple~CloudDocs/Electronic Arts/The Sims 4/Mods
    /Users/USER/iCloud Drive (Archive)/Documents/Electronic Arts copy/The Sims 4/Mods
    /Users/USER/iCloud Drive (Archive)/Documents/Electronic Arts/The Sims 4/Mods
    /Users/USER/Documents/Electronic Arts/The Sims 4/Mods
    /Users/USER/Documents/Electronic Arts/The Sims 4/Mods/Game Mods
    MacBook-Pro:~ USER


    Also, I kind of figured they were all gone forever so I started to redownload some things, so hopefully that doesn't mess anything up! Thank you again for helping!

/Users/USER/Library/Mobile Documents/com~apple~CloudDocs/The Sims 4/Mods
/Users/USER/Library/Mobile Documents/com~apple~CloudDocs/The Sims 4-test/Mods

        Unfortunately, I have ☹️ The last one was a subset of the new mods file I started to build. I'm pretty sad it seems I somehow deleted everything, but I guess it is what it is! I really appreciate your help!
