@SunnivaAppel The immediate problem is that your save names all have extra characters in them, e.g. Slot_00000002 8.save or Slot_00000004.save 3.ver2 . In order for Sims 4 to read them, the saves need to have the exact format Slot_ followed by an eight-digit hexidecimal (0 to 9, a to f) number followed by .save , with nothing else. So please rename the saves so they have that format. Make sure each one has a unique number.
The .verx extensions denote backups, and they can be used if the .verx is deleted and the rest of the save name is in the proper format.
To answer your original question, here's how to find the user folder, and therefore the saves folder, Sims 4 is actually reading:

I have delete those that have the extra Ver in them and the only ones left in the files are the ones without it and it doesn’t show up properly in my game as anything. It’s like they were completely wiped. Not just that but my Gallery is not showing anything that I have saved wether it was mine or other people. Not even online. I have officially reached out to the EA team because I just don’t know what to do and nothing is helping

If you’ve permanently deleted the backup saves, ending in .verX, and you don’t have the original save it corresponds to, as seems likely based on all the save files returned in the Terminal search, then yes, you’ve permanently deleted the saves you don’t seem to be able to locate.- 2 years ago@Bluebellflora The files aren't permanently deleted I was having this issue prior to moving them out of the folder.

Ok. Hopefully you get it sorted. The Terminal search has provided you with the location of every single save file on your computer.
