Game will not launch

Can anyone help me with my game please as i have been trying to fix this for a month now. My game will just not open and will come up with a message saying a certain document it corrupted, i would delete that document and then it will come up saying the same thing about another document and so on. I have cleared all my cache - did not work, repaired my game - did not work, uninstalled the game then reinstalled - did not work, started a whole fresh sims 4 folder - did not work, done 50/50 - did not work and now have deleted all my CC and redownloaded everything fresh again and IT WILL STILL NOT WORK! does anyone know what could be causing this

    It works with one bit of CC but as soon as I add another one it will not open.

    Thanks. Rename the Sims 4 folder, launch the game so a new one is created. Quit without saving then copy one of your saves into the newly created Sims 4 folder. Launch the game and check it's working. Quite and move ONE Mod or piece of CC into the Mods folder. Launch the game again. What happens?

    Apologies, it is in my applications I meant my actual EA folder where I add my mods & CC into.

    Your game installation location is in your Documents folder? It shouldn't be. It should be installed in your Applications folder. Can you please check in EA App > Settings > Download.

    Can you also confirm the location of your Electronic Arts > The Sims 4 folder please. This is the folder that contains your user data such as saves.

    It is installed to my actual documents folder, My MacBook is also only a year old so I don't think it is an issue with the computer itself.

    Where is your game installed?

    Have you created a symlink to the Electronic Arts/The Sims 4 folder on an external drive?
