Game Play Issues

Since the update, I’ve been having nonstop issues with the EA app and Sim 4 on my mac. The EA app takes forever to open, and then sometimes it completely crashes which prompts the helper to take over and launch it. I’ve noticed even the EA app icon disappears and turns into a grey square.  The load time for sims takes ages, which I can understand to a point. I haven’t opened CAS since the update just because of it refusing to work. So i’ve been loading a previous save. It will work for a while, but then I am unable to have my sim interact with anything and everything . For example, I’ll try and have my sim cook, so but after I get to the prompt and select cook nothing happens. I can’t open my inventory, sim profiles, open CAS, change clothes, travel, etc. But the worst part is, this is on and off. So I start playing and then suddenly I can’t do anything. I can’t save or even close the game. I tried tricking it by going to manage worlds to save, and once I did that, the game went completely black in the frame, i could still hear the sim and see the sim gem above my sim, but i can’t actually see the sim or do anything. Since Sims refuses to let me even close the app, I then can’t close the EA app. I had to turn off my mac to even get it off my screen. Once I reboot my mac EA tries to launch yet again and it still does the same thing. 

I’m just lost and don’t know what to do to fix this issue, because when it loads and lets me in, it starts acting normal, but then everything just doesn’t work at all.
