The Sims 4 bouncing and not loading. Followed other fixes to no avail

Hi all, I am running MacOS Sequoia 15.0.1 Attempting to play The Sims 4 through the EA App (as that is how I was forced to download a few days ago). I played years ago and stopped, so EA is showing...

    It worked! - also figured out why the first time I followed your amazing directions that it was not working.

    Turns out the Mods, Saves, etc. folders were't existing in the Apps folder. They somehow landed in my Documents folder.

    So I went Documents -> Electronic Arts -> The Sims 4

    Renamed "The Sims 4" folder to a random "TEST The Sims 4" for the sake of changing it to something else.

    It auto generated a new folder upon opening (just like you said) and WORKED!

    Thank you so much!

    I am definitely more excited than I should be that the game is working again lol.

      Great 🙂 Your user data folder (The Sims 4 folder containing mods, saves etc) is always created in Documents > Electronic Arts, never in the Applications folder unless it was moved there. In which case the game will just create a new one in Documents > Electronic Arts.
