    Thanks to beeper1812​ troubleshooting with me we’ve found a workaround:

    1. make sure Sims 4 and EA App are closed
    2. create a new user account on your Mac 
    3. login to the new user account
    4. launch the game in that account, the game screen should be back to normal
    5. close the game
    6. login to your usual Mac user account and copy the TS4 user data folder that contains your saves etc. onto an external drive or copy into the Shared folder 
    7. login to the new user account
    8. trash the Sims 4 folder the game created in Documents > Electronic Arts during step 4 and copy your usual TS4 folder into the Electronic Arts folder
    9. launch the game. All your saves and other user data should be loaded and the display issue still resolved
