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

I have a MacBook Air running macOS Sierra 10.12.6
Installed a new Sims4 yesterday.
I can't get past "The Sims4 is already running:
ed35e0ea:29f00e76:00000000:18a1dd51
I've done mac updates, reinstalled both the game and origin. I'd appreciate any suggestions. 🙂 Thanks

Please move your Sims 4 folder that contains your saves and other user data to the desktop and then see if you can launch the game.- 6 years ago
Thanks for your help, but I had already tried that from previous posts.
Good news though. After a full day of various work-arounds I tried making a new user account and opening it from there. Worked first time! A crazy-easy solution. I'm not sure why it works, but it does. Yeah!!!
Thanks again.

How did you get it working? I have been having this issue for a while now, I even bought my own Sims 4 and stopped using my friends to see if that helped. It didn't ☹️

If anybody is still having problems with this, the problem is your privacy settings not allowing access to Sims 4. Go to your security and privacy settings (firewall) and allow Sims 4 to gain access with all documents and files of your pc or mac.
i started having this problem when I accidentally hit “dont allow” on a prompt to open Sims 4.
