Sims 4 won't load [ Edited ]

[tifffpn]

I have had my Sims 4 game for about two years now. I use to be a very active player but took a break due to school. Since the beginning of this year, I have tried to get back into it and it has been giving me many problems. Today, I finally had time to try and work on fixing it but I really can't figure it out. Someone please help me. I have a MacBook Pro if that helps.

Here's what's happening:

When I try to open the game, my MacBook sends me a message saying "the application 'Sims 4' cannot be opened"... but then continues to open up... only... the opening screen TRIES to come up. Instead, it's a black screen that comes up and stays black for a few seconds, then the whole game crashes. I have to "force quit" every time. It will never open no matter what I do.

Here's what I have already tried:

• repairing the game through Origins
• uninstalling the game and reinstalling again
• moving my mods folder to the desktop and then opening the game
• moving the WHOLE Sims4 folder and then opening the game
• logging out of Origins and logging back in
• logging out of Origins and opening the game outside of Origins
• restarting my computer while both logged in AND out of origins

None of the things I tried above has helped at all. My computer is definitely up to date and I have no problems anywhere else besides Sims. Someone please help me

Can you please disable Origin in-game then try again?

Hey @tifffpn

I've moved your post to The Sims Mac board - I think you'll find help faster in this part of our forum
