OS X Where are steam file saves located?

In Steam, select the game and then right click properties. Select installed files and hit the browse button to open a finder window.
That doesn't necessarily get you the saves. Saves can be in a bunch of different locations. Documents, ~/library/containers, in the steam game folder. PC Gaming Wiki usually has the location (e.g., https://www.pcgamingwiki.com/wiki/The_Sims_4#Save_game_data_location) . But maybe they don't always have the Mac version.
As you may know, on the Mac there are 2 library folders, both of which have application support subfolders.
One is at the top level of the boot HD, the other is reachable using the "go menu" in the finder, but is only visible if you are holding the option key while selecting the go menu. I find the steam game saves in the latter library/application support folder.

Thanks for the help. I was able to find the saves in the user library>application support folder. For some odd reason apple decided to hide this library folder. To permanently show it you navigate to your user folder, view>show view options>check show library folder. Now these files will show up in spotlight search.
