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

Ever since I updated my Macbook to Big Sur 11.4, I have not been able to open up The Sims 4 on it.. I get an error code that states that "The Sims 4 is already in use" and thereafter there is an error code. I've googled this and it's not something new. I still want to utilize this game on my MacBook, but I'm not sure what to do next or where to go from here.. (?) H E L P ? > !
