I’m on Mac (details attached) and since the most recent Sims 4 update, the game will not launch at all. When I press “Play” in the EA App, the Sims 4 game opens briefly then minimises again, but the Sims 4 itself never launches. There’s no error message — it just loops back to the EA App.
I’m fully up to date with both macOS and the EA App, and I have multiple packs installed. I’ve tried restarting my Mac, repairing the game in the EA App, clearing cache, creating a fresh Sims 4 folder in Documents, and even uninstalling/reinstalling the EA App. Nothing has fixed the problem.
This bug occurs every single time I try to play. Before the update, the game launched normally with no issues.
I play without mods/CC, and the issue persists regardless. I’ve also seen other Mac users reporting the same thing in the forums since the August/September 2025 update, so it seems widespread. Could you please confirm if this bug is being tracked and whether a fix is planned in the next patch?
