Thank you! I learned that the Sims 4 will NOT play on Catalina whatsoever. So, I am currently in the process of downgrading back to Mojave. I updated the Sims as it always does, and went to play and it lost all my saves. I went to my saves folder and it’s empty. So, when I contacted EA support, he told me to update the OS on Mac. Well, here I am and it doesn’t work. I’m pretty sure I lost my whole community, houses, family and progress.
The Sims 4 does absolutely work in Catalina, you just need to do the following to stop it glitching out:
Error message - Unable to start: The Sims 4 is already running
- Move your Sims 4 folder to the desktop (this resets it back to default settings but all your data is safe in the folder you moved)
- Launch the game to the main menu then quit
- Open the Sims 4 folder you moved to the desktop then the saves folder. Select all your saves and drag them into the newly created saves folder in Documents > Electronic Arts > The Sims 4
- Do the same for the Tray, Mods and Screenshots folders
Game very laggy/game freezing and cursor beach balling:
- Click on the game in your Games Library in Origin
- Click on the little cog under the Play button for Settings
- Click on Game Properties and uncheck the box for Enable Origin In Game for The Sims 4
- @Bluebellflora its just that I have an expansion pack at it was working just fine then all of a sudden its gone it says I still have it but the main menu says download to use. I'm so confused.

Can you please start your own thread detailing your issue and which specific Mac you have and which macOS you are running. This is an old thread.- @Bluebellflora It fine! I guess it was that I needed to update my game
