The sims 4 randomly stopped working

This morning I decide to go "shopping" for some new cc, i dowloaded about 15 of them but when i went to open the game to check if they worked it wouldn't open. It keep on saying the same thing: " Unable to start: Cannot start because game data is missing or damaged. If you have Mods installed please remove them and try again.  If not, please repair or reinstall the game via Origin. 

I don't know if the problems is with the cc, the game or with my mac. I tried uninstalling it and reinstalling-same thing. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling origin-still the same thing, i also removed the locale thumb package- nothing. 

I NEED HELP!!!!!

    You don't need to uninstall and reinstall the game if a clean Sims 4 folder solves the issue. You now need to figure out what the issue is. Most probably CC/Mods. Follow the instructions in the link about adding data back into the new Sims 4 folder.
