Hope it helps you too!
My Sims isn't working through Origin at all...and neither is my newly purchased Sim City...all since I updated to macOS Big Sur. Any idea how to fix this? When I spoke with EA support they said Origin isn't currently compatible with Big Sur. Are there any workarounds?

Did you buy SImCity through Origin? It won't work in Big Sur or Catalina as the EA version is 32-bit and Apple no longer support 32-bit apps. Better off getting a refund and buying the Aspyr version through the Mac App Store as it is 64-bit.
Please be more specific when you say Sims isn't working for you and also please ignore EA support, they are clueless mostly when it comes to any support for Macs.- 5 years ago
I also can't get my sims 4 to work, which I've had for years. The game just acts like it's loading but never actually comes up. Any idea what the best trouble-shoot for this is? I've uninstalled and re-installed Origin and even tried turning off my mods to see if it helps, and it doesn't.
