open 1.16, forge recognizes mods because it comes up with an error saying that it needs to be in the older version (1.12.2). go to the older version, check mods section, mods aren't there. what to do???
i've been trying to get this stuff to work for probably 2 hours now, i'm not sure what to do, just wanna have cute lights on my house but my brain said no. i've looked at a bunch of tutorials and i've tried to follow them but i always end up at some road bump and cant really find out how to fix it.
im not a computer guru so try to explain stuff in simpler terms
i followed your directions, in 1.16 it made a new mod folder so i just put them in and then loaded 1.12.2. it worked somehow, so now i have my mods loaded in. thanks for helping

Don't put the mods inside a subfolder - just directly in the mods-folder or rename the second mod-folder in 1.12.2
You also can create a new directory if you are playing with more modded versions
In .minecraft create a new folder like .minecraft/instances/forge-1.12.2/
Go to your profile - edit
Select the forge version and select this created directory.
Start the game and close it in main menu
In this directory then you will also find a mods folder - put your mods in there and start it again
