    Hi there

    I have tried this this morning, and I am still having the same issue. So it's definitely game related and not my mac.

  • @xjfm

    If it were definitely game related it would affect every single Mac user. Have you uninstalled and reinstalled the game to see whether your game installation is corrupted? If you have, and it still isn't working, I'm thinking there may be a problem in your OS or possibly hardware related. 

    Which exact model Mac do you have?

    Sorry it's taken me all day to reinstall everything but I am still having the same issue.

    MacBook Pro 2024 M2 Pro

    macOS Sequoia 15.1

  • @xjfm

    When you reinstalled did you allow the game access to all locations when the OS prompted? Such as the Documents folder, external drives if relevant etc.

    Hi Bluebellflora the same thing is happening again, and i am quite confused on how to fix it. I have all backup saves and mods in folders thankfully but everytime i open sims 4 via EA app it opens a whole new folder and doesn't contain my saves or mods although they are in the folder. also would like to add that i have an external drive that i have most of my stuff on for storage purposes. but i of course have the electronic arts folder on my documents on my laptop with the folder with the little arrow (i forget what it's called i'm sorry) and i know thats where my sims should be opening from. please help if you can, you always help me and it works everytime

    I am having the same issue! Last night it deleted all my mods. When I tried to get back on, all it does is load and then crashes.
