sims 4 gallery internet connections

I recently downloaded gallery pose mods into the mods folder of my sims 4 game. This is the first mod or cc content I have ever dowloaded. Ever since then my sims 4 has not been able to connect to my internet connection and therefore connect to the gallery. I deleted the mods I downloaded and quit origin and the game but every time I try to connect it just stays loading on the "attempting to connect" screen. My internet connection is very stable and works completely fine within the origin app, it's just sims 4 that won't connect. 

I don't know what to do and I am not sure if deleting the game and reinstalling will make me lose my progress and saved games, which I obviously don't want to happen.
