Re: Sims 4 won’t launch from EA app

I have tried taking the sims folder and putting it on my desktop and the game still wouldn’t launch. 

I've just skimmed through the other things in your linked article and I haven’t tried all of those, so will have a look when I can get to my laptop later. Thanks for the advice. 

Hi. So I have just tried all of the things on the link that I hadn’t done previously and the game still doesn’t launch. Just bounces in the dock and then closes again. 

Never mind, I just tried taking the sims folder out and putting it onto the desk top again and the game launched. I’ve added my saves back in and it still works. I think I will leave it as that rather than risk putting something back that might crash it again. 

I don’t have mods/cc so with saves back in it’s exactly the same game. Thanks for your help. 

Problem has started again!  I have gone through all these steps again twice, as well as restarting my laptop and now it's not fixing it.  

This is so annoying and I cannot find any other suggestions for fixing it.  If anyone has any ideas I'd be massively grateful.  

It's a MacBook Air (M1, 2020), running macOS Sonoma 14.6.1

I have checked for updates and my software is the most recent available.  

My storage is about half used.  I had downloaded a couple new kits the day before it stopped working again, but I used it that day with no problems.  

I have tried the game repair a couple of times.  

Starting to feel like it might be a bigger problem - I have noticed that a few posts are on here with the same problem since moving from Origin to the EA app, so maybe it's that?  

I am honestly at a point of giving up on it though - it is so frustrating.
