Electronic Arts folder vanished but game still says folder is there?

I tried that, but the folder still didn't show up. It revealed other hidden stuff, but the folder was not among those things.

Hmm, this is so weird. Terminal is showing it's there. If you navigate to it through your your home account icon does that show it up?

Tried that and it's still not showing up. I don't understand why it's not appearing

Me neither, it's really odd. How about if you set up a new user account on your Mac. Does the Electronic Arts folder appear when you launch the game in that account?

Sorry it's a late reply, but it seems as though I can't create a new user on this Mac. I've had a lot of issues with this laptop not doing things it should be able to do. Think I'm gonna have to take it to the store and see if I can't get someone to fix it. When I do, I'll reply to this thread again to let you know if that fixed the problem. Thanks again for trying so hard to help

Would be great to know if you fix it it - good luck!

So, I haven't gotten my computer fixed of all its issues yet, but I did manage to fix this.

I uninstalled Sims 4, reinstalled it, and then used the command to show hidden files. After all that, I was finally able to find this folder again.

Where was it?

@Bluebellflora 

It was in Documents, but it wouldn't show up until I uninstalled, reinstalled, and then showed hidden folders. I don't know why or how it got hidden or why it wouldn't show up until I reinstalled the game (and then unhide hidden folders) though
