Missing "The Sims 4 Packs" folder

I just re downloaded the game and am looking for this folder but I do not have it at all, therefore I cannot... buy... any packs.

All I have is:

Applications > EA Games > The Sims 4 (actual game)

Documents > Electronic Arts > The Sims 4 > screenshot below

Does anyone know where I can find or restore this?

    Thanks. If you haven't purchased/redeemed and downloaded any DLC yet the Sims 4 Packs folder may not be created. Purchase and initiate the download of a Pack and see what happens.

    Please open Terminal (Applications > Utilities) and copy and paste the following search 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. You'll know when it's finished searching because the command prompt will reappear. Please copy and paste the results in a post here..
