Where are my saved games?

With this new update and the new look-I don't know if I'm just not looking in the right place or doing something wrong. Every time I pull up The Sims and click play, it wants me to make a new sim, rather than loading my previously saved family. Am I doing something wrong? What's going on? Previously, I'm able to click play and it leads me to a previously saved town/gameplay. I'm unsure on how to play with my recently played sims (even though I saved before exiting the game.)

    @acovic1  Go into Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 4\saves, and see what's there.  You'd normally have a whole list of saves and backups (they have a .verx on the end of the files).  Let me know whether you see your save files there.  And please also let me know whether your computer runs Windows or macOS.

    @acovic1  I've moved your thread to the Sims 4 Mac section.  Please right-click (or hold down the crtl key and click) on the saves folder with all your saves in it.  Select Get Info, find the Where entry, and copy and paste that info here.  You can write [username] instead of your actual username if you want, but please leave the rest of the file path intact.
