All of a sudden beginning last week my Sims 4 doesn't run well on my Mac. it always ran well before. What can I do? Somewhere it said to click on Repair game in Origin, but it won't let me do that. It's not highlighted. Any tips for getting it to run well again. Oh I did try to reinstall my whole computer and downloaded the game again, but that didn't help.

It would be best to post on a thread in the Mac Section of the forums. Mac Simmers there will help you.

Uninstall origin. Sometimes origin causes the problem. It won’t delete any of your games unless you choose the setting to do it. But don’t.
Update your game. I don’t know, sometimes this works, it helped with my game that had extreme lag.
Update your graphic card drivers, I don’t know how to do this on Mac so search it on YouTube and it might work then.
Hope it works
Firstly what type of Mac are you playing on? Have you installed any updates to The Sims 4 (recently?), or any DLC packs? Between when you last played without issue and now to experience the issue?
Try this super repair:

Sorry, I thought I new about macs, I guess I don't :hushed:
It may be your computer is downloading/unpacking/installing an update from the App Store. Search for "Activity Monitor" in Finder ("cmd + space" when you're at the desktop) and organise the running processes under the "CPU" tab by "% CPU". What is the highest running process?
If you can let us know those two things, we might be able to help further :smile:
Well, actually I fell down. But I had to use my arms to get back up so...you know, close enough.
I need some chocolate.
Yep, always best to know about the machine and OS when trying to help, that's why I would never dream of trying to help Windows users
