Game will not work with existing Sims 4 folder

Were you able to get your game fixed? I updated today and can't get my game to open at all. 

Edit - split from irrelevant Mac thread, moved to Game & Mod forum, edited title to better reflect issue (Bluebellflora)

    Same response to you, please provide the full specs of your Mac.

    For info, this often happens after a patch update which, again, happened on the same day as the Sonoma release. Have you tried playing in a new user account on your Mac?

    Game mode works great for me and other Mac users running Sonoma. To rule out game mode being the cause for you, did you try in windowed mode rather than fullscreen?

    Hi @aishaagram @jselbyfamily @schutzvikki and @Jorge9305. Given what at least some of you are describing, I suspect there are indeed mod issues here. A few tips on testing to see if it's mods:

    - If you have an cooking/cookbook/recipe-type mods, leave your mods in until you've deleted all food and plates make with those mods, or test only on a new save.

    - Do try testing pure vanilla: Drag Mods and Saves to your desktop, delete localthumbcache and everything else that says "cache", and try a new save. Then try putting mods back in gradually.

    Didn’t you back up any files when you wiped and went back to Ventura? If you had backed up your Sims 4 folder you could carry on playing your saves.
