@dylanlinds454 Which Sims game doesn't open? And are you getting any error messages? A screenshot would be helpful.

@puzzlezaddict The error I am seeing is
new proc failed with errno: 0x56
/Applications/The Sims 4.app/Contents/Frameworks/ActivationUI.app/Contents/MacOS/ActivationUI"
I've tried every workaround and have even re-installed Origin.
Running via terminal:
$ ./ActivationUI
-bash: ./ActivationUI: Bad CPU type in executable
I'm assuming this is just due to Apple changing something major in macOS and we'll have to wait for an update. Unfortunately, I'm unable to install Photoshop/Premiere 2018 either. :\

Ahh, looks like macOS killed 32-bit apps in Catalina. How stupid.

  Yep, they did indeed kill 32-bit apps. Catalina is in beta and will be until around September. Hopefully EA will fix this issue (they did in the April patch but had to roll back because it broke the game for Lion users) before Catalina is released. Beta versions of OSs are not supported.

    Definitely understand it not being supported. Just wanted to provide some more info. ☺️
