To solve "the sims 4 is already running" with the error code [ed35e0ea:29f00e76:00000000:18a1dd51] on mac:

1 - Go to system preferences.

2 - Go to security and privacy.

3 - Click files and folders.

4 - Make sure the documents folder box is ticked under the sims.

This should work if you've accidentally denied access to something when loading the game like I did.

Hope this helps some people!
