@LoveisLove767 I noticed in your earlier screenshots that you had copies of many (all?) of your subfolders in Mods. Did you transfer the copies over too, or just the originals? If the copies are in your Mods folder now, delete them; they'll be the ones labeled [something] - copy.
If that doesn't help, get rid of the Sims 4 folder currently on your desktop, move the Sims 4 folder now in Documents\Electronic Arts to your desktop, and launch the game to create another clean folder. Move your mods to the clean folder in batches, testing each time to make sure the game still loads and that the mods all appear as well. Any batch that causes the game to freeze or hang needs to be split and tested again until you've found the problem file(s).
Once your mods are confirmed as working, you can move over the contents of Tray, then test, then move Saves, and test again.

I'm trying desperately to conpherend all of this. Again, I'm a compete computer noob. I moved all my saves and mods to the clean folders, in the appropriate subfiles. Exactly what copy do I move to the desktop? I'm so so confused. Again, it's all my fault, I'm hopeless with any and all technology

@LoveisLove767 Okay, let's try this a different way.
If at any point, the game starts crashing, hanging, freezing, whatever, stop and let me know.

I'm REALLY sorry you have to deal with me. Thank you

I've gotten my saves to load! But not my mods. How do I properly move them to the mods folder?
January 2020
@LoveisLove767 Are mods enabled in the game options? Have you tried one subfolder at a time? Some mods may be outdated, but a few at least should be working properly.
If that doesn't help, please take another screenshot (the ones before were perfect) of the Mods folder inside Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 4. I'll check back in a few hours.

here you go!

@LoveisLove767 Okay, has the game run at any point during this process? When was the last time it did? If you can, backtrack and restore your Sims 4 folder to what it was when the game ran. If you can't or aren't sure what you did, that's fine; just let me know and we can start again.

It was not on at the time. How can I backtrack and restore the folder for when the game ran? I'm curious about that. Srry this is taking so long, by the way.
