I've already posted this somewhere else, but I'm going to post this again in case someone runs into this thread.
For anyone else that had an issue and the solution above didn't work here's something else to try.
I hope this helps someone!

I’m having this same issue (sims 4 is already running). I’ve tried moving the folders to my desktop, but my EA folder is saved to an external hard drive.
I think I remember setting up a sym link.
How can I fix my game?

Hello,
I’ve been playing SIMS4 on a MacBook. Everything was working fine until recently.
I keep getting the message that TS4 is already running.
I’ve tried moving my EA folder to the desktop & relaunching, but my game/EA folder is saved to an external hard drive so a new clean folder doesn’t generate. I think I remember doing a symlink when I first started.
I’ve set up a new account on my MacBook & I’m able to start over with none of my saved games and none of my CC/mods. Also, on the new MacBook account, the game is no longer saved to my external hard drive. I don’t want them saved to my MacBook.
How can I fix my game & continue to play from my external hard drive??

I have this same problem, but Origin is saved onto my internal drive.
I moved all my documents onto an external hard drive so there's plenty of space on my laptop now.
I've uninstalled and reinstalled Origin now and it still gives me the same message - "sims4 already running"
The last time I was playing - about a month ago - I was having difficulty with Game Progression in Journey To Batuu, so, tbh I'm not surprised. I'm very close to giving up haha
