Sims 4 not loading at all on Macbook (Jan 2024)

I've tried literally everything - I'm pretty sure I've managed to load the game on this same laptop before but nothing is working. I've restarted origin and my Mac, I've reinstalled and repaired the game, I've disabled Origin in Game, I've moved the files, I have 75gb spare storage; I've done everything and nothing is working.

I have a 13" M1 2020 Macbook Pro running Ventura with 8gb memory, if that helps.


Whenever I open the game, it loads for about 30 seconds and then closes and reopens Origin. It says "application not responding" every time.

    mine started also after the new macOS update. I think it´s a Mac problem because I bought a new windows pc and it works as god as new. 🙂

    It may be a Mac problem on your machine but it isn't affecting all Mac users. Have you set up a new user account on your Mac and tried to play the game in that account? Make sure you allow all macOS permissions when prompted.

    @Bluebellflora no I have not tried it yet but I guess it might be outdated mods or incompatible mods, but somehow it affects my Mac. Because it´s impossible to launch the game from my Mac after I download my mods into the Mac. I have no clue what mod it is. But I´ll update if I find it.
