Hi,
I'm really sorry to be making another post like this, but I've been through dozens of threads and nothing has worked. I've been playing the Sims 4 since 2017 and have had ups and downs with how well it works, but I've always gotten it to run eventually. Since July 2019, I haven't even been able to get the game to open.
I just checked and I am running the latest version of Origin (10.5.52.32372) and Sims 4 (updated last night). I also have no problem running games from Steam or other clients, it's just Origin and Sims 4.
Here's what happens:
I've tried:
My Mac specs are:
Mac OS Mojave v 10.14.5
MacBook Pro (13-inch, Mid 2012)
2.5 GHz Intel Core i5
4 GB 1600 Mhz DDR3
Intel HD Graphics 4000 MB
I have:
Seasons
Cats and Dogs
Get to Work
Strangerville
Laundry Stuff
Jungle (seemed to stop working after I downloaded this one in July)
I've attached a picture of the screen I get to and also of my Sims 4 folder, just in case anyone can see something that I should delete. Thank you so much for any ideas!!

Thank you for your help! I just tried setting up a new profile and the game still wouldn't start.
I should probably get a new computer soon, but it's in good shape and runs fine other than this issue (and tbh I can see on Activity Monitor that the memory pressure is fine even while the Sims is on) so I have to decide if it's worth it to upgrade mainly for games. It seems like it should at least run since I meet the minimum specs, even if they're on the low end. It's also odd that the game ran before July--I wonder if it's just growing incompatibility with older machines?
In any case, here's the lastexception file (for some reason it won't attach, so I'll paste below. Thank you for having a look!
edit: okay, so AS I posted this I tried one more time to open the game and it started for the first time in months. Weirdly, it's running super fast. I have no idea what changed.... I am not positive it'll happen again, but really odd!

Hi, thanks for having a look. I posted the "lastexception" file because the previous poster asked for it specifically after I posted a screenshot of my Sims 4 folder. I wasn't sure where that file came from originally or even what it was! Unfortunately I haven't saved other crash reports, though I could get one next time I experience the issue.
Weirdly, no Default.ini file exists in my Sims 4 documents folder -- I looked in each folders and ran a search of my full computer as well. I .ini files I have are Events, Options, and User Setting. I did a full game update on November 5, if that helps at all.
