If you are on Mac Catalina please check out this thread "The Sims 4 macOS Catalina Troubleshooting" .
I had this problem myself and I figured out the culprit was my antivirus. I have Bitdefender and it kept blocking Sims from running. I had to go in and specifically allow the application (through safe files - Application access). This might not be the case for you; but I never found that solution myself when I had been searching.
How do you do that because I have bitdefender and I don't know how to do what you said
this is something I found googling but I don't know what version of Bitdefender this is as I'm not using it myself: https://www.bitdefender.com/support/how-to-add-application-or-process-exclusions-in-bitdefender-control-center-1119.html
You want to exclude Origin.exe and ts4.exe in programs(x86)\Origin_Games\thesims4\game\bin (path may vary depending on your installation)
I have the same problem how do I do with Norton?

Try googling
"Norton Antivirus (if this is the whole name?) white-list program"
or
"Norton Antivirus set exception for program"
