Thank you for you’re response, I’ve been having trouble with the step of creating a new mods folder. I moved the mods folder to the desktop, deleted everything with cache in it on the sims folder, and fixed the game in Origin. But when I turned the game on (with mods turned off) I had the same problem. Is there something that I’m missing? And if I correct my error, would the only thing that I’d have to do is start the game and it would automatically create a new folder?

Unfortunately, it looks that some files in your game folder are corrupted and because fixing the game applies only to the instalation folder you need to replace these files with new ones.
Step 1. Rename The Sims4 folder to "The Sims4 old"
Step 2. Turn on the game - a new game folder will be created and you will have two - one old, one new
Step 3. Check if you still have this problem in the newly created game folder. Start a new game with random sims and play by 5 minutes.
If the problem disappeared
Step 4. Delete in the new game folder following folders:
"saves" and Tray.
Step 5. Go to "The Sims 4 old" folder and copy - your "saves " folder.
Step. 6. Paste this folder in a newly created game folder.
Step 7. Do the same with Tray folder and TrayDeleteItems file
Step 8. Check if there are newly updated version mods you are using.
Then copy and paste your mods and CC from the old mods folder to the new one. First copy the scripts mods every time checking if the game is working properly. If you have a lot of CC try 50/50 method ( divide your CC into smaller batches for example 50 pieces in one subfolder and check these subfolders one by one)
Step. 9. Launch the game and check if this problem also disappeared in this old save. However, it may happen that although the new saves will not have this error anymore, the old save will remain damaged.
The last step - delete The Sims4 old folder.
Your saves and library will be not changed or damaged
