@littelivviez What happens when you try to launch Sims 4? If you get an error message, please post a screenshot. Either way, please also run a dxdiag and attach it to a post.

There's no error. It just says "Preparing Game" with a bar that loops.

No error.
Just Says "Launching game" and never launches.
That has changed today.
Before it said "Preparing game" but now it actually says it is trying to launch.

@littelivviez Your dxdiag shows a few serious crashes of the graphics driver, or one of them. So please update the Nvidia driver. You can get the newest version here:

Run the installer as an admin: right-click the download and select "Run as administrator." Choose the Custom (not Express) install method, and check the box to perform a clean install. Restart your computer after installing and before trying to play.
If that doesn't help, please post a new dxdiag.
@emwallace Please post in the EA App Mac forum:

The hard drive.
My laptop has passed away during fixes.
