Hi,
I recently had to switch from Origin to the EA app, which was working fine at first. But now it says that there's an update required and that doesn't work:
I've tried to clear the cache in the EA app, repair the game in the EA app and turned off my antivirus software, but nothing seems to work. I also tried to go back to origin to do the update there, but that doesn't work as I'm immediately prompted to switch to the EA app.
Anything else I can try? Thanks!
Go to system settings, privacy & security, full disk access, and turn it on for the EA app. I had the same issue as you and this worked for me and many others.
That worked, thank you! 😃
I love you
good work

The game needs an update, the update occurs an error. The chat support recommended a few steps and it did not help. Then I was reccomened to use Origin instead of EA App as it is known for the same problem. However, after logging into the Origin, one window pops up with - UPDATE to EA APP without even the option to close it.
Hi all,
I have been trying to update since this newest patch yesterday. I keep getting an error message in the EA App. Ive done everything EA recommends such as clearing the cache and restarting the app and I keep getting the same error message. This is the first time since the EA app was released on Mac that I have tried to update the game. I also store my sims files on an external drive but have never had issues before.
