I'm having this problem, too. I cleared caches, uninstalled and reinstalled Origin and then the game. Still crashed. And I didn't have my mods folder even in the library since I had just reinstalled it. I didn't think it was that anyway, since I hadn't added anything since before I was last able to open the game just after the update. Even updated my own computer and turned off Origin in game settings. The initial Sims 4 blue screen pops up, but it crashes right after the loading screen starts the plumbob spinning. 😞

Do you have a lastCrash file in the Sims 4 folder from when the game last crashed? If so, please open in TextEdit and copy/paste the contents into a post here.
Clearing cache on a Mac is useless, you need to run the Origin reset tool https://help.ea.com/en-gb/help/origin/origin/how-to-reset-origin-on-mac/- 4 years ago
This is my most recent lastCrash file:

I am also getting a report from Apple when I launch the game, but I'm not sure if thats useful.

@BluebellfloraAlso, I did the reset Origin tool, and it didn't help. ☹️
- 4 years ago@QuaylinSims I also tried it with no luck. :/
