You can find the Origin reset tool that @Tremayne4260 is referring to here - https://help.ea.com/en-gb/help/origin/origin/how-to-reset-origin-on-mac/
A super repair may work if the Origin reset tool doesn’t:
1) In your Applications folder right click on the Sims 4 app and select Show Package Contents.
2) Navigate to Contents > Mac OS.
3) Right click on The Sims 4 and select Move to Trash. Don't drag the file as it will only move an alias and leave the original in place. If there is another file in the folder, The Sims 4.par, leave it alone.
4) Now open Origin, click on The Sims 4 in your Games Library and click on Download.
