So whenever I have been clicking on my game recently it's been saying "The sims 4 is still running." I've been trying to follow this solution I found but it requires me to move my Sims 4 folder to my desktop so when I launch the game it creates a new one, then I can transfer my saves into the new folder. But I realized my Electronic Arts folder is a file with an arrow on the bottom left corner. At this point, I don't even care if I have to lose my saves, I just want to be able to play the game.
Here are my specs:
Solved! Go to Solution.

Thanks Can. you move the Electronic Arts folder that is in Documents - Sophia's MacBook Pro so it is directly in Documents?

On my old laptop I did, but I never created a symlink on this current computer. Could this be because of iCloud drive?

Yeah, that was going to be my second question
Please open Terminal and copy and paste the following 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 can move it to be directly in the documents folder. It's asking "An older item named “Electronic Arts” already exists in this location. Do you want to replace it with the newer one you’re moving?" Should I click replace?

Okay, I renamed the file and moved the EA folder to the Documents folder.

It worked! Thank you very much you have no idea how much you saved my game!
