I've tried other suggestions that have been seen floating around, but I'm still stuck on finalizing... It's been 2 days. Any suggestions for what else I can do besides signing out of Origin and restarting my laptop? If it helps, I'm running a Macbook Air (Catalina 10.15.1).
Please run the Origin reset tool then try again.
I ran the reset tool, and it's still stuck on finalizing...
=/
I did it again, and launched the game from the app, but it still says finalizing. 🙁 and it’s saying it on a good number of EPs, GPs, and SPs.
what should I do? I even deleted origin, but it still didn’t work.
TELL ME ABOUT IT!!!
i don’t understand why EA bothers making games available on macs if the games aren’t going to run properly on them!
is there a customer service number I can call because it’s not letting me play the game properly while it is still finalising, and I’ve spent SO MUCH money on these games. 😤😤
My setup is largely at fault? That was rude.
And no, I don’t think it is as I still have a TON of space on my computer. The game is literally the ONLY thing on my computer.
Also, to say I’m the ONLY person having issues playing this game on a Mac is an obvious lie. This thread gets about a hundred new posts involving technical issues for Mac users in a SINGLE DAY! So, no, it’s NOT just me. And I’m sure EA/Origin is well aware of that.
I think your verbiage is still awfully rude. And you pretty much contradicted yourself in your first sentence.
i believe there’s a reason a separate forum was setup to assist MAC users only, so for you to assume that a wider community is issueless-free, is inaccurate. I belong to several different communities for this game, and they’ve all mentioned experiencing issues at one point or another with this game on their Mac. I was able to RESOLVE this issue here because a FELLOW Mac Sim User had a thread of other people experiencing the same problem. So, clearly, I’m not the only one, and for you to single me out just because you couldn’t assist me, seems more of an issue with your pride versus trying to be helpful.
My computer is practically brand new. It was purchased this year. A person should not have to MODIFY their computers to the EXTREME just to play a single game on their system. Otherwise, it should be NOTED on ORIGIN or EA prior to purchase! My computer meets ALL the requirements to play this game, so if you’re saying I should be customising my computer a certain way, please let me know so I can write to EA and ORIGIN, to inform them so other players like myself are not being scammed out if their hard earned money.
And I’m not an idiot, I know that CC and mods need to be updated, but when you remove all that stuff, and your game is still having issues, it’s clearly more than just the CC and mods. Not to mention plenty of other issues on this site that couldn’t be resolved due to to it being a “MAC thing.”
Again, thank you for all your assistance, but I was able to have this issue resolved by a fellow Mac Sims player. 🙂
