Your packs download to a separate folder called Sims 4 Packs in the same install location as the base game:
If you move or rename that folder, or do anything to the contents, Origin will try to download them again if. you have automatic updates enabled in Origin.
After checking the locations are good run the Origin reset tool.
I’ve already tried using the origin reset tool, and I’ve also uninstalled and reinstalled both origin and the sims. I’ve never touched the location of the folders or anything so I’m unsure why it would be triggered to redownload them. Is it possible it’s another issue?
Sorry, what do you mean by how big is the folder? As in ssd? And I do not believe it is read only.
I can’t currently access origin to view the installation path D: every time I download it, once I open the Sims 4 once, origin becomes super glitchy and refuses to launch.
I manually trashed all of the library files when I uninstalled after the reset tool didn’t help the glitchiness.
Sorry I couldn’t be more specific!! I really appreciate the help
Oh my god it’s working!!! Thank you SO MUCH!!!!
