I have the same problem.

this happened after an update was downloaded. yesterday I played and it was fine. i have mac. 

just installed it to polish, didnt help, still same error

Have the same issue. Worked fine yesterday, as of now i cant launch the game tho with the same errormessage mentioned above. Changed language settings to english, using the 'application settings' but it still refuses to launch 😢 I run the game on macOS Catalina 10.15.1. 

I also noted, however it might be unrelated, that the 'launch'-button, that is usually available when i click on the sims in 'my game library', now says 'finalizing,' without the possibility of clicking it. 

@MaxisJoesame issue!
Worked all fine yesterday
I can't choose any language. my only option is English
I have Mac Mojave 10.14 and a  deluxe edition of sims 4

Have the same problem. Changing languages, repairing and reinstalling the game and the Origin client didn't help. It worked perfectly before the update today. I'm using macOS Catalina 10.15.4.

I tried to launch from the Origin client and from the icon in Finder - doesn't work both ways, same error.

Hey everyone, I'm really sorry this is hitting you, and right when you need a game the most! We're digging into this to really try to see what went wrong. I'll update here as soon as I have more information.

All of you that have tried clicking around on different languages, etc - thanks for trying different things! It's a big help. One thing that would still be useful to know is whether you're launching the game from the Origin client or are double-clicking it from Finder. Did the Origin client return from "finaling" before you double-clicked in Finder?

I’ve also tried both 

repairing and reinstalling origin as well as repairing the game

I don't know if it helps but I've been having the same problem as well. I play the game in French, and I tried to do the language switch to English, no improvement. I then switched back to French, and it still didn't work.

When looking in my Electronic Arts folder in the finder, I see the usual 'Les Sims 4' folder, for the French version which I typically use. However, when I try to launch the game, a new folder creates itself, called 'The Sims 4' even though I switched the game back to French.
