While @burin077 advice is very good reinstalling the game will recreate the EA folder so you are probably looking for it in the wrong place. First start the game at least once. Here is an easy way to find out which folder your game is using: https://sims4.crinrict.com/en/2018/07/how-to-find-your-user-folder
I've reintalled and 'repaired' the game many times, and it did as the website you attached said to find the EA folder. My game told me that it was under documents as it should be, however when I open documents, it isnt there. Even when i go int othe search bar to search my whole computer for files, i search "Electronic Arts" and the only thing that shows up is a direct link to TS4 and origin, basically showing me the EA file seizes to exsist. Is it possible that i just cant find it still? or is my folder gone for good.
It is probably in documents on Onedrive.
I dont use onedrive, i dont have it downloaded on my computer
With what you've explained @JordanAshleighP , it sounds like what you're looking for are the Mods and additional folders that come with the Sims 4 Installation, correct?
To verify, the file path as written below:
C:\Users\(UserName)\Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 4
If the folder was manually deleted, the only other thing I can recommend is to attempt to do a computer search on the name of any of the mods you might have had in the Mods folder, and see if you can find an instance of it that isn't in the Downloads folder; if you can, right-click on it and select "Open file location" and hopefully it will give you an idea of where it might have been relocated to if it wasn't deleted.
Aside from that, the suggestion I gave you would work, but as I mentioned earlier, I would only use that if you do not mind losing any progress or changes you've made between now and the time the folder was deleted. (Think of it like jumping back in time.)
Reinstalling the Game should bring back the folders, but they will be empty, since it would essentially be bringing the game back to factory settings.

I searched up the contents of the folder and found my EA and sims 4 folder, i put my mods into it and loaded the game, it showed my mods at start up but it didnt show anything in-game (yes i have mods and script mods on)
Do you have the file path where the EA and Sims 4 Folder ended up? Is it where I mentioned earlier in Documents?
You can get the file path by selecting the path field at the top of the window in an empty space; it'll be something like "C:\Users\etc..."
