Reformat the external drive in Disk Utility to APFS (make sure to use a different name for the drive), change the installation location in EA App to the reformatted drive and try to download again. Reformatting will wipe all data from the drive so backup anything important you may have on it.

@Bluebellflora this will do absolutely nothing other than waste hours/days/weeks of your time maybe.... who knows??
I already know this because my settings were formatted to these initially before my first download (including game download location) and just like thousands of angry gamers worldwide i cant access the game i paid for because EA has FORCED ME to upgrade to some app that I DID'T ASK FOR!! everything worked perfectly in Origin for almost 5 years... now i cant even START DOWNLOADING the goddamn game (11 days + counting)
the problem is the EA APP and nothing else... what a goddamn joke
