You can't access the Manage Worlds screens because you have to create a new household in a new save, which you are doing because your saves are not in the correct location for the game to load them.
Please open Terminal (Applications > Utilities) and copy and paste the following search 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. You'll know when it's finished searching because the command prompt will reappear. Please copy and paste the results in a post here.
Hi Bluebellflora,
I appreciate your help & explaining that. I have run the search command in Terminal.
Please see the results below:

The default interactive shell is now zsh.
To update your account to use zsh, please run `chsh -s /bin/zsh`.

Thanks. Did you remove any results? I'm wondering why there is a space between the command and the returning prompt when you copy/pasted from Terminal. Run that command to update the shell to zsh in Terminal. After it has updated open a new Terminal window and run this command:
find / -type f -name "*Slot_*" 2>/dev/null
This search will take considerably longer and you must make sure to allow Terminal access to locations it prompts for.

Hi,
I didn't remove the results, but I ran the command twice as I closed the first Terminal window without copying the data/information.I've run the command & had no results... See below:

Thanks. Looks like you have managed to delete all your saves ☹️ Not sure what instructions you followed, there is so much incorrect and damaging info online about supposedly fixing your game.
Are the saves in the Bin maybe?
