I took a ss of one of the mods within the folder just so you can see the script.
C:\Users\Public\Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 4\saves\Slot_00000002.save - this is the path from the game
@shineebadd Your Basemental mods, at least the .ts4script files, are two folders deep inside mods (Mods > Gameplay Mods > Basemental > [file]), and they can only be one folder deep in order to work. Additionally, I can't see the full path to this Mods folder. From your other information, it needs to be this:
C:\Users\Public\Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 4\Mods
Separately, your junction is apparently not working at all, in that Sims 4 is reading the Public Documents folder on C rather than a location on your SSD. I can help you sort this out if you want, but the first step is to undo the junction you created. Then see what location Sims 4 is reading; if it's the same, there's an intermediate step before creating a new symbolic link. If the game is still reading the Public Documents folder, please search in Windows for Command Prompt, open it, and enter this command:
reg query "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Shell Folders" /v "Personal"
and paste the result here. This needs to be addressed before doing anything else, if it's in fact still an issue.
If Sims 4 reverts to using Users > your username > Documents etc., you can go ahead and create the symbolic link, as described here:
Please use this guide so we're on the same page. You can of course skip the step of moving your files if your files are already where you want them.

I’ve taken the mods out the folders and placed them directly into the mods folder, still nothing. I can’t seem to figure out the symbolic link, which is why I went with the junction.
i’m ready to say f the game.

@shineebadd I would be happy to help with the symlink, and by that I mean write out step-by-step instructions and the exact command to use if that's what you need. If you're interested, please provide the information I requested.
