@lilyinsimland 

You were clear 🙂 Please can you provide more information about your Mac. Instructions on how to do so and what to provide here - http://answers.ea.com/t5/The-Sims-Mac/READ-FIRST-Sims-4-Mac-Help-Guides-and-Troubleshooting/m-p/4612396/highlight/true#M162

Please run the Origin reset tool then try again, not the diagnostic tool that I think you were referring to in your original post?

The point of moving your Sims 4 folder to the desktop is to rule out any issues with your user data such as saves/mods etc.

I'll run that and try some of the methods suggested on the linked page. 

Will update later!
