Please post a proper screenshot, showing the full Finder window and the path bar clearly visible (you can cover up your username, that's not important). If you need instructions on how to create a proper screenshot, look here https://support.apple.com/en-gb/guide/mac-help/mh26782/mac and for help covering up your name in the screenshot read this https://support.apple.com/en-gb/guide/preview/prvw1501/mac

I realise you may think everything I am asking for is unnecessary but I assure you it isn't (and you're learning a little about your Mac along the way 🙂 )

Please also post the Terminal results.

Hi, no I’m just not that good at technology! Lol thanks for helping! Here is the screenshot.

the terminal results didn’t give anything. Not sure if I did that right. But I let it calculate until today. Nothing.

    Thanks! That search should have at least shown up the Slot_00000002.save file that is in your saves folder. Maybe you didn't quite do it correctly.

    Is that specific save loading in your game? It is in the correct location and the game should see it. Click on Load Game at the main menu and a menu will pop up. Hover your cursor over the two little solid squares next to the thumbnail and it will show you the file path of the save. It should be the exact same file path as in your screenshot.

      Yes it’s strange. I put it in the folder the game created. I play the game on origin. But I’ve always did and no issues. 

      also I don’t see a load game only new game smh. I attached what I see. 

      also the location path of the game on game options says:

      /users/my name/documents/electronic arts/ sims 4/ screenshots.

        Create a new game, save and quit. Then load the game again. Can you load that save you just made? If so, has it appeared in the saves folder in your screenshot?
