Sims 4 no longer works.

I have been having issues for the past week or two now. I have uninstalled and reinstalled the game a few times now. I have repaired the game. I even got to the point where I factory reset the entire game. Still, nothing works. Even on a clean game with 0 mods/cc it WILL NOT WORK. I was creating a brand new sim on a brand new clean game and the whole game froze up and said "not responding". And yes I have deleted the localthumbnailcache.package... more times than I can count. I have done everything I know/everything that has been suggested to me. Is this an EA problem at this point?

    This happened to me too! I am also on a MacBook. I'd like to team up since I'm also experiencing the same thing. Were you able to get help with this?

    ericaaa3How much free space is in your hard drive? I discovered that the recommended 50 GB wasn't enough if you have all the DLC. Even when I cleaned out my hard drive to 90 GB of free space, nothing would work. My game is running much more smoothly now that I moved the Electronic Arts folder to my 5 TB external hard drive using Bluebellflora's tutorial.
