I have not played the Sims in a couple of years and now have a newer Mac, I was able to download the EA app without issue, as well as log in to my account and view my game and expansion pack. However, when I attempt to download the game, it pauses the download after a few seconds and says "Download Error." I have already cleared the cache, and no change. Has anybody experienced something like this before? I am wondering if it is because I haven't accessed the game in a few years, if it is because I am now living in a different country with my only wifi access being a hotspot, or if it is because I changed laptops. I am very technologically illiterate, if somebody has a potential resolution for me that would be much appreciated!
I keep getting the "There's a problem with your download" error when I try to download the new Jan 14th update. I restarted my computer, cleared my EA app cache multiple times, took my mods out of my mods folder, reinstalled the EA app, and nothing has worked. I came here to see if anyone had found any solutions already but all I see is a lot of people running into the same issues years ago on different devices. I am on a Macbook Pro 2023 with the M3 Pro chip.

Having exactly the same error with my 2020 M1 mac mini. It doesn't even get past the preparing stage. Reinstalled EA and sims etc nothing worked. Did you ever find a solution?

I'm gonna be honest I totally forgot about this. I think I just repaired my game but I can also check my youtube to see if I found anything else.
