The Sims 4 Won’t Launch on Mac (EA App Relaunches Instead)
Hi, I’ve been unable to open my game for the past three days. When I click "Play" in the EA app, The Sims 4 icon briefly appears, then closes itself after a few seconds, and the EA app reopens.
Steps Tried:
- The issue occurs even without mods
- Repaired the game via the EA app
- Reinstalled the game
- The game updated to the latest version while repairing
- My Mac has no available software updates
- Game files are located in: Documents > Electronic Arts > The Sims 4
Despite all this, the issue persists. I haven't modified any files, and the game was working fine earlier. I simply closed the app, and when I tried launching the game again a few hours later, this started happening (a few days ago).
System Specs:
- MacBook Pro (15-inch, 2017)
- Processor: 3.1 GHz Quad-Core Intel Core i7
- Graphics: Radeon Pro 560 (4GB) & Intel HD Graphics 630 (1536MB)
- RAM: 16GB 2133 MHz LPDDR3
- macOS Version: Ventura 13.7.4
I’m not sure what else to try at this point. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
