@laylan2302 That's not the right folder; it's a hidden set of reference that isn't supposed to be touched.
Please run the Terminal command I provided, and post the result.
@puzzlezaddict This is the result:
find / -name "Version.tag" 2>/dev/null
/private/var/folders/g1/hyky00qn6qq2k4ksq9dkwqgw0000gn/T/Documents/Electronic Arts/The Sims 3/Version.tag

@laylan2302 Right, so the folder isn't anywhere accessible to the game. (As noted, the location shown is a private area not meant to be accessed, and Sims 3 certainly can't find it.) If you've started the game once, and the Sims 3 folder doesn't exist here:
Macintosh HD > Users > your username > Documents > Electronic Arts
then this may be an iCloud Drive issue. Please read the first post of the master thread I linked earlier for how to disable iCloud Drive for Deskto & Documents.
If that doesn't help, please create a new admin account on your Mac. Don't tie it to your Apple ID—you can skip that step—just sign in and launch Sims 3, then look for the user folder in the location above, of course with the new account's username.
