@puzzlezaddict The thing is thats the only EA folder I have with Sims within it. When I had it redownloaded before it was because I had an error that said couldn’t start the game (now i have en error saying its running). The version of sims within that folder is the sims i redownloaded it in. So I’m assuming since I cant access the folder at all it cant open Sims because its in it.
