i don't have an electronic arts folder on mac

★★★ Newbie

i've looked everywhere in documents, i changed my settings so that origin could access all of my folders and still nothing! i've waited an hour for the folder to show up and i've repaired the game files more than one, updated it, restarted origin, restarted my laptop. Still nothing! 
everytime i look into documents all i see is origin and sims 4. I can't get the EA app because it only works for windows 
so if anyone has any tips please share!
thanks!

Ok. Please open Terminal and copy and paste the following search command then hit Enter/Return:

 

 

 

find ~ -type d -name "*Electronic Arts*" 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.

I'm not sure what the image is meant to be showing but have you launched the game yet? The folder is created when you first launch the game.
