Re: “Your download has been paused” - Help!

@Bluebellflora that's what I thought too! and all the solutions Ive looked for are for PC users haha, bought all legit off origin + a few expansions, no proxy or VPN. Had the game all installed and working about a year and a half ago and needed to uninstall to make room, its this time around that it been giving me issues

    It really is a bit crazy! Is your user account on your Mac an administrator account? If so then try the following:

    Back up your Sims 4 folder (just in case) then run the Origin reset tool, then trash the Origin app in your Applications window. Empty the trash, restart your Mac, then re-download and install Origin. Hopefully that may fix it.

    If it isn’t an admin account then try updating through an admin account and see if that initiates the pop up.

    But it didn't fix it:c.
