    It looks like there may be a mounting problem with your drive as the OS has added a 1 to the mount point. You can see this in the Disk Utility screenshot.

    Try the suggestion in my previous post and make sure you unplug all peripheral devices before restarting your Mac.

    Ejecting the disk may be be the problem. However, your solution worked, but this pops up whenever i try to open the game (on both sims 4 and 3). Also when I attempt to download my expansion packs it says the same thing about not having any storage.
