Where is the installation folder?

I have looked all around for the life of me to figure out where the installation folder could be for TS3 64 Bit...I would like to download Ellacharmed's custom world fixes, and in order to do so, I need to access the installation folders. For windows it would be "\Program Files (x86)\Electronic Arts\The Sims 3\GameData\Shared\NonPackaged\Worlds\", where is this for mac? Can someone please help me? I'm running a 2019 16" MBP with the latest version of Catalina.

    @itsmikeee64  Origin will typically install games into either the main Applications folder or the user Applications folder.  So the full file path would be:

    Applications > The Sims 3.app > Contents > Resources > The Sims 3.app > Contents > GameData...

    or

    Macintosh HD > Users > [your username] > Applications...

    To open an .app, right-click on it and select Show Package Contents.

    If you don't see the .app, use cmd-shift-. (period) to show hidden files and folders.
