Mac EA - Sims 4 update won't download, keeps coming up with a non specific error

Hi there,

Any help would be so so appreciated as this is currently stopping me from playing the game :/

So the one add on I have is the Blooming Kit and whenever I launch the game it tells me I need to update the game which it usually does fine. However the past day it keeps automatically pausing the download and when I try and resume it, it just says "Something went wrong - An unknown error occurred". I have restarted my mac, deleted and re-installed the game but I still have the same problem. 

So this all started when I did one of 3 things that may have caused a problem (or its just random):

1. I moved the sims 4 game (the game NOT the data file, which is still in electronic arts) to a folder on my mac. After the problems started I moved it to the applications tab again and popped it under the EA games folder but still no dice. 
2. Tried to download a cc - Once I had problems I immediately moved the files OUT of the mods folder but the problem is persisting 
3. Fiddled with icloud </3 I know this is a big nono but I have just paid for extra cloud storage however before then I turned on the setting to stop syncing documents and folders. As a result TEMPORARILY the elctronics arts folder was not downloaded, I have fixed this and it is now downloaded properly and back in it's original place (Still under icloud admittedly) but my app still does not work 

I will take on any advice possible. I've browsed forums and haven't come up with a solution to this hence the post, especially as I can't seem to open the "repair the app" thing or "open as administrator" despite right clicking left right and centre. 

Thanks <3
