missing sims 4 folder and missing electronic arts folder

i recently updated my computer to macos high serria, and now that i've been trying to add more mods to my game...i can't find the folders

my game opens just fine, and all of my old mods are still running in there, but i can't find the sims 4 folder OR the electronic arts folder whatsoever

i've checked my icloud drive and i've checked documents, and both are absolutely empty

i've been playing sims for years, and i've been using mods the whole time and i've never had this issue

please help!

    Could you follow this exact file path to try and find them:

    Macintosh HD > Users > your user name > Documents > Electronic Arts > The Sims 4

    If your Macintosh HD is not showing on your desktop or in the Finder sidebar you can enable it by going into Finder > Preferences > General

    It's not possible to do a proper search for the Mods as the Electronic Arts folder is hidden from search results unfortunately.

    It will be under the iCloud section in the Finder sidebar if you have iCloud Drive set to store your Documents folder in the cloud.

    Please go into Applications > Utilities and open Terminal. In the window that opens copy/paste the following then hit Enter/Return:

    find ~ -type d -name "*The Sims 4*" 2>/dev/null

    Give it a moment to return the search results then please copy/paste them here.
