EA app won't launch Sims 4

I am a MacBook user, and have never had any issues playing the Sims 4 through the EA app. 

Today I updated it then loaded up the game and it was fine. I then opened up and closed the game a few times, as I was testing out OBS's screen record feature. After I connected my macbook to my second screen (again never had any issues with this) and opened the sims 4 on the second screen and played around with the display/resolution settings in the Sims 4. I then quit the game and when I tried to reopen shortly after it would not work.

Every time I launch the sims on the EA app, the sims 4 app icon pops up at the bottom as normal but then instantly closes and the EA app pops back up on the screen. There are no messages or errors that come up.

I have literally tried EVERYTHING including...

  • Removing my mods folder
  • Deleting cache
  • Repairing the sims and expansions in the EA app
  • Restarting the EA app
  • App recovery on the EA app
  • Making sure both EA app and Sims 4 have permissions on my mac to the full disk/documents
  • Closing all EA applications through activity manager

And NOTHING has worked! I feel like i have tried every single suggestion online.

Please help! I don't know what changed in a matter of minutes.
