Okay so you have it installed but it's not on? Otherwise you should make sure it does not auto-start anyway or uninstall it as it's not very good too have lots of programs that you don't use and just take up space/memory 🙂
Okay, so this is what it said?
C:\Users\Username\Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 4\Screenshots?
If you take a new screenshot, does it show up in that folder? Also, do you have all your save files in
C:\Users\Username\Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 4\saves
And they do not show up in game anyway?
- Make a backup; copy your The Sims 4-folder from C:\Users\Username\Documents\Electronic Arts to an external drive or somewhere else on your computer, for example your desktop.
- Rename the The Sims 4-folder in C:\Users\Username\Documents\Electronic Arts to The Sims 4_backup
- Start the game, make a new save, then check your screenshot settings again, copy the path and please paste it or take a photo just so I can see and make sure.
- Exit the game, has the game made a new folder in C:\Users\Username\Documents\Electronic Arts
- If yes, contunue
- if no, please post here
- Start putting folders back in the new The Sims 4-folder.
- Options.ini - your game settings
- Saves - your old saves. The sub-folders are not needed. If putting these back causes problem, try putting one back at a time.
- Screenshots
- Custom music - if you have any
- Tray - your library objects; like lots, rooms and sims
- Mods - your mods and cc, might cause problems when putting back
If putting back one of the folders was problematic and you did not work it out, please post a reply and we'll see if we can find what your problem is!

Good Luck! 🙂
No, the screenshots don't show up at all
Also when I followed your steps the game did not generate a new folder

Very strange.. could you take a screenshot of your EA-folder? Like this:
You could also try searching, in "This computer" for "02-15-18_"
does any screenshot show up?
