I would try to make more space on the Mac. 35GB is not much space left at all.
If you go to System Settings on your computer, then scroll down to Storage and click Storage Settings, you can see a breakdown of what is taking up space. It will give you a list of categories, and if you click the little i will give you a further breakdown within that category.
The documents breakdown can be particularly helpful as you can see your largest files and how much is in your downloads folder, plus applications that are no longer supported.
Probably the biggest space user for me right now is iOS backups - I do sometimes go through and delete older ones, or backups for devices I don’t use anymore. My Sims content is definitely taking a large chunk of space as well, followed by iMovie which I don’t even use, and then Steam and the various games I have there. Then various coding & editing programs.
A previous space hog I’ve had was years of photos and music. To help free up that space, I pay for a cloud storage service where my photos now live, and I spent several days a couple years ago going through old audio files and removing duplicates & corrupted files. I also put some I don’t listen to much anymore on that same cloud storage.
Good luck!
Okay, I was able to download the Sims 4 again finally. Omg I'm so happy! So I went to Google again for help to clear my system data again, I asked/stated to Google (the question was from earlier or yesterday in the google search before the GB went to 34 today , so I added "how to clear system data") : "i still cant download 23.21 gb on the EA app on mac after clearing most of the storage for the sims 4, how to clear system data", and one of the answers was - In Finder, go to the top menu, choose Go then Go To Folder and type: ~/Library/Application Support. " Instead of me deleting the EA or Origin folders only, I deleted all of the folders including the EA and/or Origin folder all together in that Application Support location section, and it added more space according to the Storage section in the System Settings to allow me to download the Sims 4 again. So far it's installing, which is good. Thanks for your assistance! Have a good weekend :)
