Thanks. What kind of Mac do you have - MacBook Air? MacBook Pro? iMac? All these models have shipped with the M1 chip at some point. They have also never come with a 500Gb hard drive, the closest being 512Gb. Are you referring to an external drive?

Please follow those instructions above to properly uninstall Origin and the game, empty the trash, restart your Mac, make sure there is no "The Sims 4 folder" in the Documents > Electronic Arts folder then launch the game. You should be prompted to allow Origin and the game access to various locations on your Mac, make sure you allow them all.
