What the title says. I've tried everything:
- Completely uninstalled/reinstalled both EA App and The Sims 4
- Cleared EA App cache and all sims caches
- Tried running EA App with Rosetta
- Checked system permissions for EA App/Sims 4 (Full Disk enabled)
- Checked firewall for issues
Please follow the instructions in the opening post and test a completely clean game. If the issue still persists provide the requested information.

Thanks, really helpful 🙂 Are those all the files and folders that created inside the Sims 4 folder? All of these should recreate but I guess it's crashing before managing to create them all:
Could you copy and paste the contents of the lastCrash file in the new TS4 folder into a post here?

Yes, everything under the NEW sims 4 folder was created by the game, it just crashes before launching; Even with all fresh/functioning files (like I tried with the clean game), the game still crashes before even starting.
Here's the recent crash log (I've redacted the session id and createtime for privacy):
