Sims 4 stuck on finalizing to install (Mac)
I've tried other suggestions that have been seen floating around, but I'm still stuck on finalizing... It's been 2 days. Any suggestions for what else I can do besides signing out of Origin and resta...

I'm not sure. Hopefully someone else can help you as you seem to have so many problems playing the game on your Mac ☹️

TELL ME ABOUT IT!!!
i don’t understand why EA bothers making games available on macs if the games aren’t going to run properly on them!
is there a customer service number I can call because it’s not letting me play the game properly while it is still finalising, and I’ve spent SO MUCH money on these games. 😤😤

But most Mac users can play their games on their Macs. I have no problem playing on 3 different Macs with the game installed on an external drive and my Sims 4 folder stored on an external using a symlink in one of the installations. It seems like your setup is largely at fault. There are known issues on some model Macs but yours is not one of them from memory?
Here's how you can contact EA - https://help.ea.com/en/My setup is largely at fault? That was rude.
And no, I don’t think it is as I still have a TON of space on my computer. The game is literally the ONLY thing on my computer.
Also, to say I’m the ONLY person having issues playing this game on a Mac is an obvious lie. This thread gets about a hundred new posts involving technical issues for Mac users in a SINGLE DAY! So, no, it’s NOT just me. And I’m sure EA/Origin is well aware of that.

I'm not saying you're the only one, I'm saying that not everyone is having issues. This is a tech help forum so of course it will be filled with posts from people looking for help but if you look at the wider Mac community as a whole the majority are able to play either because their setup is optimal, and by that I mean no settings/preferences/corrupted files/3rd party apps/3rd party processes causing an issue, or they have applied a workaround to a known issue, of which yes there are plenty.
Why is saying your setup largely being at fault being rude? Everybody has their Macs setup in a way that suits them personally, no two setups will be the same. Unless I actually had your Mac in my hands and see what is causing the myriad of issues you regularly post about, it is impossible to state the cause.
I'm not sure why the amount of space you have on your internal storage is relevant to all the issues you are having?
