I filed and submitted my taxes a few days ago so it is pending until irs opens up.

I was looking at my copes of the tax return and noticed it is way shorter than my copy from 2019.

2019 has a bunch of worksheets and scheduled forms along with a copy of w2 information per employer I worked for.

2020s copy has none of the worksheets, scheduled forms nor does it have a w2 information for the 2 employers I worked for. All the 2020 copy has is the basic information and total income and tax credits listed on the 1040 and thats it.

Has it changed this year to a more simplified process or did I miss filing some thing out?

No, most likely due to the IRS will not start processing returns this year until Feb 12th and for the process of printing below may not work if the return has not been accepted by the IRS yet. Your tax returns will remain Pending until the IRS starts receiving tax returns.

If you have already filed, see the instructions below:

You can locate the worksheets that were included in your tax return by accessing a complete copy of your tax return from the Print Center. The PDF file of your tax return, that is located on the tax home page will not include the worksheets. Please note: this may not work until your return has been accepted.

Please see the steps below to obtain a complete copy of your tax return which would include all worksheets:

Sign in to your account (if you haven't already done so), using the same login you used to file your return.
Scroll down to My Tax Returns and Documents and click on show.
Next scroll down and click on Add a State (you are not really adding a state, this will allow you to get back into the program.)
In the left side panel click on Tax Tools then click on Print Center.
Next select Print, save or preview this year's return.
Then select the option to print your 2020 federal and state returns (shortest version). You can also select the option to Include government worksheets (optional) (medium-length version) and/or You can also select Include government and TurboTax worksheets (optional) (longest version). Then select View or print forms.
This will allow you to print your complete tax file.
Once you have finished printing, click on Tax Home in the left side bar to return to the home page and click on Sign Out in the lower left corner when you are ready to exit the program.
