How to save Sims data when wiping Mac?

I have to wipe my Mac as I've been having performance issues with it. I thought my Sims data would be saved in the EA app, but luckily, I looked it up first, and I saw it's saved locally on my computer. I've been playing with the same family for over 2 years and would be extremely upset to lose that data. How do I make sure to keep it? Thanks so much!

    All your Sims 4 user data is stored in Documents > Electronic Arts > The Sims 4. Simply backup that folder somewhere, either in the cloud or on an external drive, then you can copy it back once you have reformatted and reinstalled your Mac :)
