I was asking for you to confirm the file path 🙂 Let's try a more detailed search. 

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

find ~ -type d -name "*saves*" 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.

    Hmm, that's an odd result. There should be a User account name between Users and Documents. Is that all that came out of the Terminal search?

    Please copy and paste all the returned results from the Terminal search here. You can take out the name of your user account and just replace it with User.

        Thanks. Are the saves you want to play in the Electronic Arts copy folder on your desktop?
