At some point you would have been prompted to allow the game access to the Documents folder and must have clicked deny instead of allow. Can you give the game Full Disk Access?

I apologize for the late response but I found what cc was causing my game to crash! As for the ¨sims is already running¨ error, I have to restart my Mac and log back into origin when that happens.
