I cant locate my mods folder after update
I recently updated Sims4, and the new EA app, and now i'm unable to find my mods folder. I used to be able to go into documents>electronic arts> sims4> mods folder but now when i go into electronic arts the only folder thats in there is an EA App folder with nothing in it? I have searched everywhere for a mods folder and there isn't anything with the new EA app, so now I cant access past mods i used to use and I cant add any more mods . Anyone else having this issue?? pls help !!!!!!20Views0likes2CommentsWhy can't I download Sims 4 to my hard drive?
Every time I go to download The Sims 4 to my hard drive from the EA app, I get a message saying "something went wrong" almost immediately. I have enough space on my hard drive so that isn't the issue. I have a 'My Passport' hard drive, could that be the issue? Do I need a different hard drive? So confused13Views0likes1CommentGallery Won't Connect
I recently downloaded the Sims 4 on my Mac and it was running just fine until one day I tried to access the community gallery to download a house to my lot and it said that a connection was required. When I selected the 'connect' option it would just load forever and not do anything. I have tried clearing my computers cache, restarting and updating my computer itself, resetting my wifi router, resetting the Sims 4, and even deleting the whole EA app as well as Sims 4 off of my computer, only to redownload it and have the same problem. I am at my wits end! I have looked at so many forums and tried everything everyone has suggested and NOTHING is working, so I decided to make a post myself. If you have any tips, let me know please!!annab4rrows5 days agoSeasoned Newcomer25Views0likes2CommentsGame was Running Great, Until EA APP Updated
So, my game was running great, until I received a notice the EA App on my MacBook was updating. After that, my game wouldn’t load. I removed all the mods, tray files, and saves, and still the game is malfunctioning. I deleted both the EA App and the game. Downloaded the EA App and the base game again, and still the game is malfunctioning. It freezes, takes a lot of time to load. Tried repairing it, and the problems persist. If I force quit the game then try to open it again from the EA App, it won’t work. I press the play button, and nothing happens. It seems there is a software conflict between the new EA App and my MacBook. My MacBook is fully up to date and I have the newest version of the EA App. Just to be clear, these problems persist without mods, saves, or tray files; they persist after I repair the game, after I delete the electronic entertainment folder and everything inside, and after I deleted and redownloaded both the EA App and The Sims 4 base game. What is the problem?27Views0likes2CommentsSims 4 Mac Cheat Console Won't Open
I've looked at the forum and other discussion boards to no avail. I've done everything that was recommended, including closing/restarting game & Macbook Air. I've deleted and redownloaded the EA app. I'm using Shift*Control*C - it's not opening the cheat bar.

I play on a mac and at the moment when I try to open the sims 4, either through clicking the app icon on my dock or clicking 'play' through the ea app, it won't open. I click it and the sims 4 ea app icon bounces as if it's going to open but then it doesn't and the ea app pops back onto screen. I've tried doing 'app recovery' for the ea app, i've tried repairing the game and I've removed all mods and CC and nothing has worked.meowtronn10 days agoRising Newcomer43Views0likes2CommentsNot loading
If I click “resume game” nothing happens. It’s been on the loading screen for over 10 minutes. I force quit the game, repaired it through the EA app (I am on mac) and tried to load a different household and none of that worked. Help?tearyeyedtrashh11 days agoSeasoned Newcomer26Views0likes5CommentsStuck on pending - then won't repair
Seriously I am at my WITS END. I have paid so much money for these games. Everything was fine, and then I got the 'game is not released' pop up. The game wouldn't repair so I just uninstalled it. Now it won't download. I have done everything - I have cleared my cache, I have downloaded the app again after deleting it - I have all but sacrificed a small animal. I am on a MAC and I just want to play my **bleep** game! It is stuck on pending and won't cancel. Then I try to download it and it starts again. So I make sure I delete the partial downloads. I have tried, I have failed. Please HELPelisemc9012 days agoSeasoned Newcomer23Views0likes2CommentsExpansion Pack Not Downloading
MAC User I bought Get to Work, Toddler Stuff, and Outdoor Retreat. Everytime I try to download them I get this error (pictured below). I bought other stuff packs after trying to download them and they have worked. It is just these three. I have cleared the cache, uninstalled and reinstalled EA and the game, restarted the app, restarted my laptop, probably more stuff I don’t even remember. i tried contacting EA Support twice, they are useless. Neither case got resolved and I’m currently trying to contact them again. I paid for those extra content packs and can’t even play with them. Also it’s not a space issue on my MAC, I’ve already checked.ChristinaG800313 days agoRising Newcomer34Views0likes3CommentsEA App won't let me play !
I just downloaded the EA Map on my Mac, since Origin forced me to. I did an update of the sims and now it won't let me open the game, saying it wasn't released yet. Also all the packs I bought seem to be gone. It's saying I only own the deluxe one... Any help is greatly appreciated. :)30Views0likes1CommentI can't load a game bc the menu is going funny

I recently had to clear a bunch of files from my computer, and that included the EA app and The Sims 4. Tried to reinstall it today and the game is unable to update or start because I don't have the base game. The EA app isn't giving me the option to reinstall the base game, either, so it seems that I have hit a wall and can't play :(. Please let me know what I can do about this.naengmyun17 days agoRising Newcomer30Views0likes2CommentsNo Games Showing At All On EA APP
Hey guys! I just recently downloaded the EA app via. the Sims website so that I could play, but upon opening the app, no games are showing up at all? The main homescreen/library are all blank, and there's no area to browse games either. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling, clearing my cache, clearing background runners on my computer, but I keep running into the same problem. Has anyone else had this problem/know how to fix it?? Screenshot:19Views0likes0CommentsWhy does the new EA app hate me so?!
I hadn't played since July 6, so when I opened the app yesterday, I wasn't able to play until I installed the latest update. Once that was complete, I played the game for maybe an hour, then saved and exited. The next day, I opened the app and it said much of my custom content was missing. Upon closer inspection, I realized that my most recent save file/household had been wiped from the game, as well! All of this is in addition to having to deal with a little window stating that the EA App is "being verified" appearing on my Mac screen for no apparent reason. Whatever happened to just, like, clicking on an icon to open a game? I'd rather play using a physical copy in my external optical drive than deal with all this rigmarole.36Views0likes2CommentsNeed help please!
Hello, ibought the Sims 4 additional content. I wanted to download it, but the download took so long and didn't progress so I wanted to cancel it. This was two days ago and the download is still aborting. I can't close the app, shut down the Mac, or play the game. What can I do?17Views0likes1CommentThe Sims 4 won't open! Help!
Hello! I'm hoping one of you guys can help me because I've tried everything at this point. Every time I click play on the sims through the EA app, it just doesn't open. I've tried rebooting my Mac, uninstalling and reinstalling the sims, taking out my mods folder, repairing the sims, repairing the sims with my mods folder in, and even trying to see if the Origin app will work instead, and each time, nothing, it just won't launch. I thought maybe it was my dads old Mac that was the problem, so I even bought a brand new Mac mini M2, and it has all the requirements on the sims forum, but still it won't launch. Sometimes when I try to launch it, it gives me an error message to go to the Games Hub and do something I can't remember but I can't even find the game hub to do anything. Anyways if anyone can help me, I'd really appreciate it. -Haddiwaffle_fries10122 days agoSeasoned Newcomer32Views0likes3Comments
