Sims 4 saved games disappeared after playing scenario

Hello i just started playing sims 4 and had started a new  game but got bored so i explored scenarios, loaded a new game with a scenario. After i exited to main menu bc i wanted to go to my first game, but it was gone? Only the scenario game was available and I had played the first game i made plenty of times (like yesterday and twice today and it was still there everytime i loaded the game) and now it was missing after i started a scenario.

My EA folders are in documents and i didnt move anything. Another factor though is that i have my Sims 4 game in an external hard drive however everything works fine with Origin, but this happened? I still have my Sim/household(?) that i created in the gallery but my game progress is nowhere to be found even on the EA/Saves folder.

I also got this when i typed the command:

/Users/fangirlinngg/Applications/The Sims 4 Packs
/Users/fangirlinngg/Documents/Electronic Arts/The Sims 4

    Please open Terminal and copy and paste the following command then hit Enter/Return:

    find / -type f -name "*Slot_*" 2>/dev/null

    After a little while it will return the results of the search. Please copy and paste the results in a post here.

    Just want to add i had a household or sims world and when i clicked to start a scenario, i think it merged? or something because i see my sims character in my first world in the scenarios (i made friends with her) but i cant play my original world, when i click load games it only shows the scenario world. I want to play both? is that even possible or is my original just wiped out bc i started a scenario with a different sim?

    also this is what i got:

    You have OneDrive sync enabled which may be causing the problem. You have your Sims 4/saves in two locations, in the OneDrive folder and in your Documents folder. The game will only look in the Documents folder for saves to load.

    You may have the OneDrive equivalent of this iCloud Drive issue when disk space is low https://answers.ea.com/t5/Technical-Issues-Mac/READ-FIRST-Saves-CC-Mods-or-Library-items-disappeared/m-p/8071682#M50294
