sims 3 wont uninstall

My Sims 3 won't uninstall and says I need to give the app disk permission but it has disk permission so I don't know what to do.

  • Grayish66​  Does the EA App itself have Full Disk Access checked off under System Settings > Security & Privacy > Privacy?  It's not enough for the App to be listed there; you'd need to check the box.  Since that's somewhat invasive though, you could instead allow access to "Removable Volumes" under Files and Folders.  And interestingly, for me at least, the EA App doesn't appear in either; it's still Origin.

    its checked on but it still asks th same thing

  • Grayish66​  Then just delete the Sims 3.app, as well as the Sims 3 Packs folder if it exists.  Close the EA App first so it doesn't block the change, then drag both to the trash.

    This will leave some hidden files behind, but they're small, and if you really want to clean them out too, I can explain how to find them.
