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

find ~ -type d -name "*The Sims 4*" 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.

      What do you mean your Documents folder doesn't open properly? What happens? The game needs to access the Documents folder to load the game user data. The Sims 4 folder is right there in the Electronic Arts folder in Documents on your Mac:

      /Users/my name/Documents/Electronic Arts/The Sims 4

      Terminal doesn't lie 🙂

        When I click on documents, nothing happens and thr folder itself doesn’t open, and when I go to icloud and click documents from there, it opens to an empty documents folder so i’m really confused ):
