Re: Sims 4 does not launch from Origin.

Hi sorry for the delay (I work full time so I have been trying to fix this when  I can here and there)

I wanted to update the list of things I have tried:

Steps to try: (Everything on this list that you posted)

1. Move your Sims 4 folder out onto your desktop and let the game generate a new one (if you have created a symlink to store your Sims 4 folder on an external drive do not move the folder but rename it instead). You can find the folder in Documents > Electronic Arts > The Sims 4. If your game then works ok the problem was in your user data (most causes for this are incompatible or conflicting CC/Mods). Now you have a nice, new, clean user data folder you can try adding your old data back into the game gradually, testing after each addition. For example, copy your saves from your old The Sims 4 folder into the new one. If your game once again doesn't perform properly then you know that there is a problem somewhere in your saves, one or more may be corrupted. 
2. Try repairing your game. Open Origin, click on your games library, right click on The Sims 4 and select Repair Game.
3. If you have Origin open but your game won't load, quit Origin then try launching the game again from the Sims 4 icon in your Applications folder.
4. Log out of and quit Origin. Restart your Mac then open and log back in to Origin.
5. Disable Origin in Game. Open Origin, navigate to the The Sims 4 in My Games, right click on the game and select Game Properties. Make sure Disable Origin in Game for this game is ticked. 

   Everything on this list:

   Steps to try:

   1. In your Applications folder right click on the Sims 4 app and select Show Package Contents.
   2. Navigate to Contents > Mac OS.
   3. Right click on The Sims 4 and select Move to Trash. Don't drag the file as it will only move an alias and leave the original in place.
   4. Now open Origin, right click on The Sims 4 in your Games Library and click Repair Game.

I have also manually reset Origin following your guide and checked to make sure it is in the appropriate applications folder.

The only thing I haven't tried is the super repair and the origin log in thing, only because I don't understand what you mean by that. Could you please explain it again?

Ah ok!

So I just tried going to origin > preferences > unchecked enable origin in gameplay and it still did not work.

It occurred to me that I have done so much with emptying files and other troubleshooting that at this point I may be missing files I NEED to run the game, so I am including some screenshots of my sims 4 folder. (All blue folders in the screenshots including the mods folder are empty) I don't know if that will help you help me but I am desperate! 

I'm not sure, I'm not computer literate enough to know. Is there a way I can find out? If I had to guess they ate from when I tried to open it after other fixes, so likely they are recent.

Hi @heytherehil I'm having the same issue, I know this thread is from March of 2021 but I'm wondering if you ever figured out a solution?
