Your user data folder, which contains your saves and the game needs to load your progress, is located in Documents > Electronic Arts by default and labelled The Sims 4. Have you also trashed that at some point?

i haven't messed with any of that, i go onto my 'saves' folder within the sims 4 but theres only an empty folder within it labelled 'scratch'
Sounds like a new Sims 4 folder has been created when you launched the game. The scratch folder is created when you launch the game but automatically deletes when you quit the game. If your game crashes the Scratch folder can remain behind but you can delete it.
Let's do a search of your Mac for files ending .save using Terminal. Open Terminal (Applications > Utilities), copy and paste the following then hit Enter/Return:
find / -name "*.save" 2>/dev/null
It will take a while so let it do it's thing. Please copy/paste the results here.
/Users/lilywingate/.Trash/The Sims 4/Slot_00000002.save
/Users/lilywingate/iCloud Drive (Archive)/Documents/Electronic Arts/The Sims 4/saves/Slot_00000003.save
/Users/lilywingate/iCloud Drive (Archive)/Documents/Electronic Arts/The Sims 4/saves/Slot_00000004.save

Thanks 🙂
Have you recently disabled iCloud Drive? That iCloud Drive (Archive) folder contains your Documents folder which contains the Electronic Arts > Sims 4 folder. You need to move the Electronic Arts folder directly into the Documents folder so the file path would be:
/Users/lilywingate/Documents/Electronic Arts/The Sims 4/saves/
