@KimStaySarcastic Are you using the legacy or standard edition of the game ?

For Legacy: Check the BinLE folder

      You need to find the Game folder. Program Files (x86) / Origin Games/ The Sims4
      These folders are in alphabetical order so the Game folder will be in The Sims 4 folder below the folders starting with the letters E and F. After you open this Game folder you will find the Bin_LE subfolder there.

      I don't work for EA

      Hello! I had the same problem and the .exe file should be just under these three folders you mentioned above. It's called TS4 and has the game icon on it. Click right, make a shortcut on your desktop and that's it! You specifically need to check in BIN_LE tho.

        I looked in all three folders for both Legacy and Normal Sims 4 and it’s not there either.
