@simmingonsixam Please find the full path to the folder Sims 4 is reading, as the game sees it. Here's how:

Compare it to the folder that contains your mods. If they don't match, that's your issue. And I understand that this setup worked before, and you probably know what you're doing, but it's possible that something changed on the Windows side, which the game then adjusted to, leaving your mods behind.
If you'd like help creating a symbolic link, please list the folder the game is currently reading and the path to the folder you'd like it to read instead.
thanks so much for the reply! when i go to game options > screen capture like it says in the link you posted, i find that (at least for my photos/videos), there is a new onedrive folder that the game is using as its path. the folder it is reading is "C:\Users\avama\OneDrive\Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 4\Mods". the path it should be reading is "D:\Electronic Arts\The Sims 4\Mods"
