OS X Catalina (Or Mac OS, or whatever they call it these days). A lot of players apparently have a bug with the latest OS X and The Sims 4
For what it's worth though, short of my Macbook currently having issues with the OS update in general (which I suspect is related to something other than TS4), it ran the game just fine even despite being several years old.

I feel your pain. When something like this happens, blows up in your face, it can take the joy you've always experienced playing this silly game, right out of your memory. It becomes a tangled wad of barbed-wire and frustration.
Did you make a backup of your game, prior to the patch? If not, do make it a practice. That can solve many of your woes. I'm very thankful that @Bonxie over at the MCCC mod help thread reminded all of us to do so. Also, making a copy of your saves and Tray folders is wise, too. Your games reside in the saves folder, your Sims and builds in the Tray. Many a time a copied saves folder has rescued my Sim.
Hope you can get your current issue solved.

The troubleshooting guide on AHQ has helped (with some exceptions, since not all systems are the same). And the team is working on a more reliable fix.

Origin wouldn't work on my computer, so I updated to Catalina thinking it would help. Then it worked, but my game crashed constantly and was unplayable. I had to delete my Sims 4 folder (which made me lose months of gameplay and I was really upset) and go into the newly generated SIms 4 folder and delete a folder called "EAWebkit cache".
After that my game was fine. I haven't had any problems and it actually runs better than it previously did.
Mine still keeps not starting at times but at least I have several backups of my saves (silver linings, I guess)
I hope it works for you.
You deleted entire folder including your save files? Why is that? Didn't Nick only told us to delete EaWebkit cache?
I don't know who Nick is.*shrug*
Last time my game crashed three days ago, I looked at the report and saw that EAWebkit was causing an error and deleted it. Then I came in the forum to tell someone in the thread that I was commenting in at the time https://forums.thesims.com/en_US/discussion/comment/17273982#Comment_17273982.
Then I saw this post today, and mentioned it here.
As for why I deleted my whole folder, deleting the Sims 4 folder and letting the game generate a new one is commonly the first piece of advice given, because it often works. It allows the game to start fresh with no old, possibly corrupted files. Then after it generates a new folder, you can try putting your saves into the new folder to see if they load up properly. As long as they aren't corrupted, you can. (Mine was corrupted, so it was lost).
This bit of advice has actually applied since at least Sims 2. It's not all that weird.
he's simguru who focused on fixing bugs and sims related technical issue, yeah I know about deleting generating a document folder thing, but your statement earlier about losing months of gameplay had me wondering that you also deleted your saves folder permanently and let the game literally start fresh from the beginning, that's just odd.
Ah, ok. I hadn't seen his post, i just figured it out on my own. It's not odd, the advice to delete the folder and let the game generate a new one has been advised since at least Sims 2. And when I put my saves back in, I discovered they were corrupted, so that's why I lost them. Hopefully other players will have better luck and not lose theirs.
oh, that's too bad. I know how it feels to lose months of gameplay or worse losing the sims itself and no trace of them in tray folder.
That's the worst part. My Sim was nearly 200 "years" old and had nearly every skill, and had fulfilled most of the aspirations (for the packs I own currently). I've never spent that long on one sim before.
I can't even understand why people buy Windows PCs. Isn't freedom of choice a wonderful thing
Indeed it is. People are free to choose all the bad computers they want but really shouldn't be surprised when games come into problems with them. While I am sure that Macs are good for somethings gaming just isn't one of them and it's a well known fact. I'm honestly not trying to be unsympathetic here. I would be upset too if I couldn't play the Sims 4. Hopefully the issues people are having will get fixed sometime soon.
I have a Mac for a number of reasons that have nothing to do with this game. But, as it happens my game runs very well. I had a blip, and fixed it myself, and now my game runs better than it did since before the last update.
There's no reason to criticize people's choice of computer. If you are only playing one or two games, then any computer that meets the requirements is perfectly fine. My computer actually exceeds the requirements.
