Query data from applicationuser

First of all I still dont understand some basics of CodeFirst relations, so that might be issue.

So I have property "SIMCardNumber" (row) in ApplicationUser table which I want to get data from and show it on view, however I'm having issue doing so. I'm unsure why cause on other tables unrelated to ApplicationUsers I had no such issues with controller code.

Project is MVC 5 with CodeFirst approach to models.

I'm getting

Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

Heres full error:

Server Error in '/' Application.

Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

What I have tried:

public ActionResult UpdateSIM()
        {
            
            var userId = User.Identity.GetUserId();

            
            var sim = context.Users
               .Where(a => a.Id == userId)
               .Select(a => a.SIMCardNumber).FirstOrDefault();

            if (sim == null)
            {
                var simtext = "You don't have any number linked to this account!";
                var view = new DetailsUserViewModel()
                {
                    SIMCardNumber = simtext
                };
                return View(view);
            }

            var viewModel = new DetailsUserViewModel()
            {
                SIMCardNumber = sim
            };
            
            return View(viewModel);
        }
