    A Finder/Spotlight search does not find the Sims 4 folder if it is in the correct location, Documents > Electronic Arts, because it is hidden from search results.

    We can search another way. Please open Terminal and copy and paste the following command then hit Enter/Return:

    find ~ -type d -name "*The Sims 4*" 2>/dev/null

    After a little while it will return the results of the search. Please copy and paste the results in a post here.

      It will show the command prompt again after returning all the results. The command prompt is the bit showing your user name and device name where you paste the search I put above.
