Hi, today I tried to create a whole new account with new email and everything. Once the download was finished i clicked play to access the game. the exact same error popped up. When i went into my settings i tried to see if sims was an allowed app in my files and folders (refer to image attached). Is my computer now allowing it?

I hope you didn't go through all of that to try and solve this issue, it's not necessary.
There is no Sims 4 in your screenshot under Files and Folders so no, the game doesn't have access to the Documents folder which is why you are experiencing this issue. Is the game showing in Privacy & Security > Full DIsk Access ?
Create a new Administrator account on your Mac and then, when prompted on first launching the game, allow access to the Documents folder. If you need help creating the Administrator account read Apple's guide here https://support.apple.com/en-gb/guide/mac-help/mchl3e281fc9/mac

All your user data such as saves and mods are stored in your Documents > Electronic Arts > The Sims 4 folder. Copy the contents over to your new user account and you'll be good to go 🙂
