Repaired game, Reinstalled origin, removed mods folder. I was able to completely remove the sims folder and started as a new game. It did launch that way. Does that mean that I have something corrupted?

Yes, most probably an out of date Mod that needs updating. It is nothing Mac related. See the master Mods thread and try to work out which Mod applies to you https://answers.ea.com/t5/Game-and-Mod-CC-Issues/Broken-Obsolete-and-Updated-Sims-4-Mods-1-101-Sept-26-2023-Game/td-p/12938280/jump-to/first-unread-message

Same here, I play on Mac and since the last update from September 2023, my game won't launch. I have to force to quit every time.
I moved the mods folder on my desktop and the game opened but got stuck on the launching page with the Sims 4 Logo and the blue background.
Help please, I don't want to reinstall everything and lose all my saves... We all know - us simmers - the struggle to rebuild, recreate and restart everything from scratches...
Thank you

  The game works in Sonoma. Try a whole new Sims 4 folder, without any of your current user data, and see if the game launches.

  @Soloroses it wont work unless we reverse our update and lose a lot of things, I also made the mistake of updating my mac weeks ago and ever since I cant play my sims4 anymore unless I log into my fiance mac computer which is not compatible for the sonoma update thank God lol
