Why does origin immediately crash on MacOS Monterey?

@thatcoolguy59 

Please can you provide more information about your Mac. Instructions on how to do so and what to provide here - http://answers.ea.com/t5/The-Sims-Mac/READ-FIRST-Sims-4-Mac-Help-Guides-and-Troubleshooting/m-p/4612396/highlight/true#M162

Can you also be more specific? What are you deleting? What are you reinstalling? Is the game crashing or Origin?

I have the same problem. I am running Mac OS Monterey 12.2. I have an m1 chip.

• Are you attempting to play the normal version of the game or the Legacy Edition? the normal version
• Are you running any antivirus? no
• Have you tried to repair the game in Origin? I cant even get Origin to launch. The icon bounces then stops and doesn't open.
• Do you use CC/Mods? If so, have you tried removing them and seeing if that fixes your problem? I do use both but again, origin wont open. I am not even trying to launch sims 4 at this point, I am trying to launch origin. 

I have uninstalled, reinstalled, deleted cache folders, ran first aid via disk utility as well as in recovery mode, made a second profile on my mac, checked proxies, checked internet connection, and I still cant get it to launch.

Have you run the  Origin reset tool

Yes, I have. 

sorry, i was logged in to the wrong account but yes, I have tried that.

That's what I was thinking too. It was working the day before and then I updated the OS to Monterey. I just hope they do it soon cause I've spent way too much money on TS4. ☹️

Thanks for your help!
