Sims 4 won’t launch after update on mac

Hi there!

My game won’t launch on my Mac after the update. I have uninstalled and reinstalled. Mods are gone. I’ve tried repairing the game. I’ve been searching for answers for 8 hours, nothing is working. Mostly what I’m seeing is for PC and I play on my Mac. 

Has anyone figured out what to do and how to fix? The game Main Menu opens fine, but then I get the spinning plumbob of death forever. Help please

    Move, or rename, the Sims 4 folder out of the Documents > Electronic Arts folder then launch the game. It will be like new with none of your user data loaded. Can you create a new save, new household, move them into a Lot and play?
