Hi everyone - I'm really hoping someone can help me!
I use a Mac and play Sims 4 (via Origin) from an external hard drive using a symlink. I accidentally unplugged the drive while still playing, and of course got a notification that it hadn't been ejected properly. I immediately plugged it back in and tried exiting the game (without saving) but the loading wheel just kept spinning, so I force quit the app. Then I quit Origin and tried to start over, but now I'm getting this error message when I try to launch again.
This actually happened to me once before and the only thing I could do to fix the problem was reverse the symlink, completely uninstall and wipe every trace of Origin/Sims 4 from my laptop, and then re-download both and redo the symlink. I'm DREADING having to repeat that process again, so I'm really hoping there's an easier fix.
For more context, I don't currently have Origin and Sims installed on the same drive. When I had to re-do this whole process the first time I made this mistake, things installed differently for some reason and I was too exhausted to investigate lol. I'm not sure how to fix that and have them together, but the game has been running perfectly up until this ejecting issue. Okay, I'm done panic rambling... please help SOS. Let me know if any other screenshots would be helpful lol
