I see that, but the thing is that my Mac doesn't even have iCloud set up. Would following the steps possibly fix my problem despite not even having iCloud set up or having over 200 gb of storage left?
If you definitely don’t have iCloud Drive setup the steps are irrelevant.
Please open Terminal and copy and paste the following search command then hit Enter/Return:

That's great, thanks.
This:
/Users/jacksonb/Documents/Electronic Arts/The Sims 4
is where your game loads your user data from such as saves, Library items and Mods.
If the saves, Library items and Mods you want to load are in the folder on your Desktop here:
/Users/jacksonb/Desktop/Electronic Arts/The Sims 4
you need to move them into the folder above. Don't put the Sims 4 folder within the Sims 4 folder, move the contents of the Sims 4 folder. The file structure within the Sims 4 folder must stay the same.
You should also have your game installed in the Applications folder, having it on the Desktop is not recommended due to memory issues. This is the base game installation:
/Users/jacksonb/Desktop/The Sims 4.app
and this is where all your DLC Packs are installed:
/Users/jacksonb/Desktop/Electronic Arts/The Sims 4/The Sims 4 Packs
This is optional but move those to the Applications folder and then in Origin make sure that the Game Library location is set to the Applications folder.
You have two Application folders, your User one and the system (Macintosh HD) one. Your choice where you install it to but make sure Origin is pointing to wherever you choose to move it.

Thank you for the help. However, I no longer have a Sims 4 Pack folder for DLC.
