Just Bought Sims 4 for Mac... But it won't ever open!

[augustbaby14]

Hi All, 

I just purchased the Sims 4 after a long time debating if I should, installed it, and now I can't get it to play! Every time I open the game it takes me to a black screen (which I presume would turn into the loading screen) BUT then it goes back to my desktop and if I hover over the app it says app not responding,

I was under the assumption that my computer was able to run the Sims 4, and I have tried 'repairing', updating the game, and I have also tried moving the Sims 4 folder out to my desktop as recommended by some threads. Please help me! I desperately want to be able to play  

My specs are: 

MacBook Pro (Retina, 13-inch, Late 2013)

Processor: 2.4 GHz Intel Core i5

Memory: 4 GB 1600 MHz DDR3 

Graphics: Intel Iris 1536 MB

and I am running macOS High Sierra (v. 10.13.12)

Have you tried reinstalling Origin or the actual Sims game? I had this issue too when I first got the sims and I just reinstalled sims and it seemed to work. https://bluebellflora.com/how-to-uninstall-the-sims-4-on-a-mac/
