@pinknails122 You definitely have a Sims 3 folder inside an Electronic Arts folder: if you didn't, the game would create one the next time you opened the launcher. But you may be looking in the wrong location, specifically the iCloud version of Documents rather than the one stored on your hard drive. To make sure you're in the right place, open a Finder window, click Macintosh HD (or whatever you've renamed your hard disk) in the left panel, then choose Users > your username > Documents etc.
If you don't see Macintosh HD, click Finder in the upper left corner of your screen, choose Preferences > Sidebar, and click the box next to hard disks.

So I was able to follow the steps up to "Documents", I have no folder named that. I have "Applications" which is empty, "Downloads" which doesn't have any EA files, "Google Drive", "Movies", "Music", "Pictures", and "Public" which are either empty or don't have the EA files.

@pinknails122 Please open Applications > Utilities, launch Terminal, copy and paste the command below, and enter:
find / -type d -name "Saves" 2>/dev/null
Post the results here. You can write [username] instead of the actual username, but please leave the rest of the file path(s) intact. And let me know if the username listed is not the same as the one in your current user account.

Please give me another way because I don't want to mess with the Terminal, I've have issues with it in the past. Thank you.
I have cloud saves turned on in Origin but when I follow their instructions on how to access cloud saves, I don't see step 4 "Cloud Saves" option:

Want to restore your last save?
If you want to restore your last local save:
- Go to your Game Library in Origin.
- Right-click on your game.
- Click Game Properties.
- Click Cloud Saves.
- Click Restore Save.
- You’ll get a message that starts with “You are now reverting to a locally stored save file…”
- Click OK and you should be able to play from your last local save.
