Hello! I am very reluctant to have to deal with this again. I`m disgusted with the EA team or rather the ones who make new updates to The sims 4. I can`t start the game almost every time an updates is made! The operating system I have macOS Catalina version 10.15.5. I hope you solve the problems and it will not take a month again as always. I am very upset!!! If this continues, I will cancel the game and request a refund for all game packs and expansion I have purchased. You let me down....

    You cannot run the game whilst it is updating.

    If you use 3rd party CC it is at your risk, EA are not responsible for ensuring the game runs with other people's content installed. Check your Mods/CC are compatible with the new patch level of the game.

    If you move your entire Sims 4 folder to the desktop and launch a new, clean game - does it work?
