Game stuck at 2% downloading

Hello - I wanted to move my sims 4 game from the EA app to a different flash drive but it kept corrupting and wouldn't let me move the game from one flash drive to the next. So I ended up just uninstalling the game and then plugged in my 256GB unused flash drive. Game was stuck at 96% for 3+ hours so I cleared the cache, restarted my computer, and both times I have tried to redownload to my flash drive it is stuck at 2% "preparing" anyone know a quick fix?
