Reshade effects aren't showing in game (sims 4)

I've been trying to find a solution to this but I can't find anything that pertains to my specific problem— that, or I'm just not phrasing it correctly. I still have the DX9 version of the sims 4 and downloaded all of my effects onto the respective mode for reshade (I've tried it on every .exe file for the sims 4 as well). The effects load in just fine and the little bar on top shows up as well, but even though it shows that the effects are enabled, it's not actually showing anything in my game. I have reshade 6.5.1 with add-on support, so I'm really not sure what the problem is. Do I need an older version of reshade? I used to have a one from like two years ago that I never deleted until a few months ago that still worked before I uninstalled it, so I'm kind of at a loss as to why it isn't working now with the newer version
