On the EA App on Mac, the base game installs and launches correctly, but all my owned expansion/game packs say "install base game first". I have deleted Ea app, restarted my computer, no Origin files, and tested on another Mac user profile. I have the files, but the biggest difference is the Electronics Art folder doesn't house the "Sims 4 pack folder"...Help please :(
tatisim22 I'd like to see what your current setup is. Please first open the EA App, click Sims 4 > Manage > View properties, and list the game's location you see there. Then open Terminal, in Applications > Utilities, copy and paste this command, and enter.
find / -name "EP01" 2>/dev/null
Please post the results here. You can discard the ones that start with System/Volumes, and if your username appears, you can write [username] instead. But leave the rest intact.
Hello
game location is : users/username/documents/electronic arts/the sims 4/
/System/Volumes/Data/Users/[username]/Documents/The Sims 4 Packs/The Sims 4.app/Contents/Delta/EP01
/System/Volumes/Data/Users/[username]/Documents/The Sims 4.app/Contents/Delta/EP01
tatisim22 Please uninstall the game and reinstall it to the default location:
Macintosh HD > Applications > EA Games
Having it in Documents can be a problem if you ever use iCloud Drive, and the OS permissions for Documents can be an issue as well.
It worked!!! Thank you!! <3
