Access to my computer?

Question

This is new. When I start the Sims 4, I receive this message: This grants the 'EA app' access to your data, files, and settings on this Mac, as well as permission to modify them.

This worries me. Why on earth should I give EA access to my data, files and settings on my Mac and permission tot modify them? I clicked on 'Do not allow' so no the game doesn't start - it gives an error message. If this continues I'll stop playing the Sims completely despite all the money I have spent on it. I'm not giving EA full access to my computer.

The error message I get when I click on 'Do not allow': 'The EA app encountered an unknown error. Try again a bit later. Error code: EC:106.&nbsp;Somebody knows what this means?

This still continues. Should I reinstall the Sims?&nbsp;

Because if you don't allow access it isn't going to work. There is nothing to worry about, EA App is a signed app and a trusted developer. Just allow it so you can get back into your game.

J'ai eu le même problème et j'ai refusé mais maintenant impossible pour moi d'autoriser, le message d'erreur s'affiche dès que je veux lancer le jeu. Sauriez-vous comment faire pour pouvoir autoriser l'accès ?

System Settings &gt; Privacy &amp; Security &gt; Full Disk Access. If the toggle for EA App is off, toggle it on. If it isn't there click the + in the bottom left corner of the listed apps and add EA App.
