Have you tried playing in a new user account on your Mac?
so sorry for taking so long to respond! I've been super busy! But I tried the second solution of turning off origin in-game and it worked for getting my game to open again! Thank you so much!! My only problem is now after I've selected a save to load from and go to play, there's like a red square around the screen and it won't let me actually click things and play. I can only really move the camera around and zoom in and out. Do you know at all how I could fix this new problem? Again, thank you so much for your help!

Are you playing in windowed mode? Try fullscreen. Can you also please provide all the info about your Mac I linked to in my previous post.
