I linked to the post explaining how to create a completely new clean game by moving/renaming the Sims 4 folder, it's only one thing to try. Did you try that?
For EA App issues such as updating and repairing the game you need to post in the EA App Mac forum - https://answers.ea.com/t5/Technical-Issues-Mac/bd-p/ea-app-technical-issues-mac-en - @penguinjamboree

I gave full access to the game itself and now it is launching. Thank you so much.
thank you!!! this worked
