Not Letting Me Re-Download the Sims4

Hi, if anyone can help I will be really grateful and it will be much appreciated! But basically I tried to repair some files (I think for my add-ons and stuff) but it wouldn't let me, and because I hadn't repaired them I couldn't play the sims. It kept on saying I had a file missing, so I deleted the sims and tried to re-download it. When I tried to re-download it, it wouldn't let me and popped up with the same message again. I don't know what to do and how to get the sims back.

I noticed that it keeps on telling me to find a file about an antivirus thing?  I don't know how to do it either I'm not good with all the file stuff.

Here's a screenshot of the notification I keep getting and thanks for reading!

    I ran out of disk space so I decided to put the EA App and Sims 4 on a flash drive to free up space. I was able to open the EA app from my flash drive just fine, but when I try to open Sims 4 to play it, it won't open because of an Access Denied error to /Volumes/Samsung USB/EA Games/The Sims 4.app/Contents/Data/Client/Resource.cfg_DiP_Staged. Does anyone know how to fix this?

  • My game needs to update, there is nothing blocking it and I have enough storage. It keeps saying it's failed. 

    It tells me that access has been denied and tells me to add an exception to my software, restart computer or contact EA Help so here I am.

    I downloaded the sims again separately to see if its a computer/access issue and its clearly not cos it was fine not.

    I don't want to have to wipe my entire game yet again, please help.
