I bought the game june 2016 and I've never been able to open it, since origin keeps telling me that "the sims 4 is already running" with the errorcode:
[ed35e0ea:29f00e76:00000000:18a1dd51]
I've already tried reinstalling origin and resetting it. I've checked my task manager and it is not running. I've gotten a new macbook (the touchbar one) and it still tells me that the sims 4 is already running. Help me, please

Unable to start:
The Sims™ 4 is already running.
[ed35e0ea:29f00e76:00000000:18a1dd51]
When I try to open Sims 4 this prompt comes up.
I have tried updating, exiting everything, reinstalling etc...
any ideas?

Are you running Catalina? You need to allow the game to access your Documents folder. You can do this in System Preferences > Security & Privacy > Privacy- 6 years ago

Depending on which version of macOS you are running it may be System Settings or System Preferences. This Apple article will help you https://support.apple.com/en-gb/guide/mac-help/mh15217/mac
