Can't find Game/Bin folder on The Sims 4 Mac

I am using a mod that requires a file to be moved to the Bin folder. Multiple other posts say that I can find it in The Sims 4/Contents/Resources, but it's not there. Others say it's in the Origin Games folder but I can't find that one either. Or am I looking in the wrong place? Screenshots are provided for your reference. Thanks!

    You're reading instructions for Windows users. Has the Mod creator not given Mac specific instructions? What is the Mod?

    @ddaengden I know I'm extra late, but maybe someone has the same problem and I found it.

    If you're looking for GraphicsRules.sgr, then it is in ~/Applications/The\ Sims\ 4.app/Contents/Resources

    From your user folder -> Applications -> right click on "The Sims 4" -> "Show package contents" -> Contents -> Resources

    The OP was most likely wanting to install Reshade which requires files to be placed in the bin folder. This is not possible on the Mac version of the game as there is no bin folder, it is Windows only. Thanks for the input though 🙂

    I have searched everywhere for the bin folder and cannot find it before you tell me not to look in the documents folder I already did that, I was looking for the bin folder in the applications folder where my sims 4 is located, I am on mac and I downloaded sims in EA.
