After upgrading Node.js to the latest version, I start getting these error messages when I tried npm audit fix --force. It seems like I'm unable to fix my dependency tree issues. I've tried to search for solutions to this error extensively and tried many different solutions, but none worked. Should the only solution be downgrading back to an older Node.js version?

Make sure your Node.js version is not superior to the latest stable one. For that you could use the n package from npm:
npm install -g n
n stable
# if one of the commands does not pass, you may need to use sudo
sudo npm install -g n
sudo n stable
Then you would wanna use sass package instead of node-sass, as it's deprecated. And for that, run those commands:
npm uninstall node-sass --save
npm install sass --save
If you need or want node-sass for some reason, you should downgrade your Node.js version, v14, for example. For that you can again use n package from npm:
npm install -g n
n 14
# if one of the commands does not pass, you may need to use sudo
sudo npm install -g n
sudo n 14
