"Origin is not currently running" Issue [SOLVED]

I'm getting this issue specifically on my Mac whenever i try to run The Sims 4 through Origin (or even through my deck). I can't open it, it's been doing this for a while. Does this have to do ...

    .... um, this is embarassing, but you know the one thing I didn't think to do? Restart my Mac...
    And I did. And now it works. So, yeah, i'm sorry, haha.

@xlunalovegoodx 

The game will always launch through Origin even if you launch it directly through a Dock/Desktop shortcut or the install location.

Open Terminal and copy/paste the following search then hit Enter/Return:

find ~ -type d -name "*The Sims 4*" 2>/dev/null

It will take a moment to return the results. When it's done please copy/paste the results here.

    All It returned was:

    /Users/myname/Documents/Electronic Arts/The Sims 4

     

    (The myname is obviously in place of my real name. Sorry about that).

     

    It's annoying because this doesn't happen on my gaming computer, just on my mac, but sometimes I just feel like being able to play without getting up to go sit at a desk for hours.
