The Universal one provides native support for Apple Silicon equipped Macs as well as older Intel machines. It was in the April patch notes - https://www.ea.com/games/the-sims/the-sims-4/news/update-04-18-2023 The Universal version is the one you've been playing, you can tell by the date last accessed as it most recent and the files size is larger due to BG patch content added.

Does the game show twice in your Applications folder too?
