I am getting the "origin needs to download files and is waiting for your permission" with the Sims 4, I have a Mac and was told by an agent on the live chat before purchasing that Sims 4 would be compatible so I don't know why I'm getting this error message.

    In System Preferences > Security & Privacy > Privacy > Full Disk Access does Origin have a check mark next to it?

      Hi!

      So I am also having the same problem. I’ve already tried to make a new user account and that didn’t work. So I went to check to see if it had full disk access but I don’t have that under my privacy settings. Is there any other ideas you may have? 

      My game was running fine before Origin and Sims updated early December. 

      Thanks.
