Unfortunately, that did not work. When I clicked the Edge Smoothing button and than "apply" this came up (see attached photo)

I wonder if it’s to do with the display you’re using? Do you have a separate one you could try? Maybe HDMI to a TV? ugh, I plugged my computer into my tv and that did fix the problem. Is there anyway I can adjust my computer monitor screen for that issue, or would you know anything about that? I see no point in buying a whole new monitor just for edge smoothing on the sims 4.

Go into System Settings > Displays and play around with the settings. Which monitor do you have? This is the computer I bought recently (see attached photo). I am at work right now, but I will look further when I get home. What kind of settings should I be looking for when I do?
Not sure really, you'd need to play around and test after changing each setting. There have been previous problems specifically with Mac minis and displays, not so much with Mac notebooks and iMacs. If there is a disconnect between your Mac mini and the Philips display it may be exacerbated in the game. Try the different resolution settings in-game too.
I have figured it out!
Something you said made me think about looking into specifically the display issue and I found this link:

The person mentioning the "-w" was 100% right. Although, I did prior switch to windowed mode, the game had already opened in fullscreen mode and therefore rendered the option of window mode useless concerning fixing the problem. Once I made the game open in window mode, the problem was fixed and now edge smoothing is on.
Kind Regards

Great, nice simple fix! You should be able to switch between fullscreen and windowed mode in the in-game graphics options without having to enter the command in Origin though, or you can do this in the Options.ini file by changing the value of the fullscreen setting. Thanks for posting what worked for you, always helpful for others 🙂
