This is one of your saves that the game can read and load if it is in the correct location in [USER] > Documents > Electronic Art > The Sims 4 > saves:
Slot_00000005.save
These are examples of your saves files that will not load:
Slot_00000005 2.save Slot_00000005 2.save. 2 Slot_00000005.save 2.ver4 Slot_00000005.save copy Slot_00000005.save.dw Slot_00000005.save.n Slot_00000203.save. Slot_00000206.savee
This is a a backup version of a save:
Slot_00000203.save.ver1
For help with backup saves read Crin's excellent guide here https://sims4.crinrict.com/eng/2014/09/backups/
For some reason you also have saves as TextEdit files. These will not load.
See those little up and down arrows and clouds? That is your Mac moving files to iCloud. Save files solely in iCloud > Documents > Electronic Arts > The Sims 4 > saves will not load. If you read the opening post in this guide it explains that you MUST free up internal space, disable iCloud Drive, and Optimise Storage. Once you have done that, and trashed all those irrelevant saves files, and started with a new clean, mod free game, you could move the Slot_00000203.save into the brand new saves folder, on its own, and see if the game will load it. If it's still blank the save is corrupted and you've lost it.
I think i'm just going to have to accept defeat at this point. The only save file that works is from a month ago. my build world can't be recovered and all the items in my library are gone. RIP to all my progress and builds. thank you for trying to help
