I’ve moved it to the desktop and tried to relaunch it but it’s still frozen
@ellamaree8, have you restarted your computer? This may help close out some files that may think the game is still running. Next, after restarting, try resetting Origin before starting up the game. Here is the link on how to do so.

Once you reset Origin, you will need to check your Preferences and insure that Origin In Game is turned off as well as "Save to iCloud" disabled.
Please report back here and let us know if this has solved your problem.
@Tremayne4260 Thank you for this! I've just given it a go and it hasn't worked unfortunately. However when I go to force quit sims 4 (the only way to close it when its frozen), it doesn't come up with application unresponsive now
Please can you provide more information about your Mac. Instructions on how to do so here - http://answers.ea.com/t5/The-Sims-Mac/READ-FIRST-Sims-4-Mac-Help-Guides-and-Troubleshooting/m-p/4612396/highlight/true#M162
If your Mac has NVIDIA graphics you may need to update the driver manually. There was an issue with High Sierra and NVIDIA GPUs a while ago which was fixed by updating the driver through NVIDIA's site.
Here is some info on my mac, as requested 🙂

iMac (21.5 inch, late 2013)
Processor: 2.7 GHz Intel Core i5
