Settings won't save

I've had the sims 4 for years now and I've never had an issue with it that I couldn't fix myself. Recently I started using mods again, I downloaded a few and they work perfectly fine in the game. But only the normal mods work as I can't turn script mods on, I would turn it on, apply changes, save my game and then restart it but when it restarted script mods would be off again. After an hour of mini-tantrums, opening up sims, turning on script mods, saving and quitting I tried changing some other settings as well in the graphics menu as that's worked for me before, but when I opened up sims again none of the settings had saved. I went through all the settings, saving and quitting and then opening it up again and none of them would change. I've been trying to change my settings and allow script mods to work for a few hours now and I'm honestly so annoyed. Is there any way I can fix this issue?
