cannot open or repair Sims 4 on mac

Question

When I try to open my sims 4 from the EA app on my mac, it just says 'application not responding' and won't open. I have tried to repair, but it just gives an installation error and gets stuck at 86% and won't repair either. I have also tried restarting my computer, clearing the app cache, removing the game from the Electronic Arts folder, quitting and opening the app again but still nothing works.&nbsp;

I have been having the same exact issue. Nothing is working. I've tried sorting through my mods folder, (the error popping up says mods need to be removed) so I have been checking all updated broken mod lists, and I have cleared my folder accordingly. I have repaired the game, updated it, but nothing is working. I'm beyond sick of these constant patch updates. Some are completely unnecessary and target gameplay mods and CC unnecessarily.&nbsp;

This is an EA App issue, moved to the EA App tech and bug forum. There are probably hundreds, if not thousands of posts on this issue.
zobellagio​ some of the patched content maybe completely unnecessary to you but not to the wider community. Not everyone uses Mods and CC and Maxis are not responsible in anyway for the negative effects incompatible and broken mods as a result of patching has on your game. You are responsible for making sure your Mods are up to date and if the creator hasn't updated them to work, then you remove them from your game. Head over to the Sims 4 Mods forum if you need help understanding how this works - The Sims 4 Mods &amp;amp; Custom Content | EA Forums&nbsp;
