Sims 4 game won't start, blank white pop-up

Hi! I keep having this issue where when I open the game on EA, it immediately goes to a black screen with a white pop-up box in the middle (see attachment), and I can no longer press anything on that...

    Can you set up a new user account on your Mac and see if you can play in that account. Don’t set up iCloud, just a really basic admin account.

    Hi! Thank you for replying! When I mention the files, I mean the Electronic Arts and The Sims 4 files on my macbook. Thank you for sending that link, I followed the steps that I had not already tried, yet no success, still immediately getting that frozen white pop-up as soon as the sims opens.

        So I set up the new user and tried to download EA, but my computer wouldnt let me open the app at all so I made the decision to restart my computer and that seemed to have somewhat worked. I still get a couple seconds of the white pop up but it goes away and the sims game begins afterwards. Thank you for your help!
