well, i fixed it. i backed up my mods then uninstalled to reinstall the game. sound worked, i readded my mods, still works. no clue what the issue was but that was the fix for me...
@godgirlsims Do you play through Steam or the EA App? Have you by chance added the -nosound command line argument at some point? It's occasionally recommended for troubleshooting reasons, and a few players over the years have forgotten they applied it. In the EA App, it would be under Sims 4 > Manage > View properties.
Please also make sure that sound isn't turned off in the game options. Deleting options.ini should have fixed that, but a syncing error (such as with OneDrive) could interfere here.
If that's not the issue, please run a dxdiag and attach it to a post.

@godgirlsims Hey, a fix with no explanation is far better than an explanation with no fix. Thanks for the update.
