Hi there,
Since the most recent update I am no longer able to open and play the sims without receiving the following error:
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've tried to fix within the EA App, I've removed it form my laptop and re downloaded, changed the name of the folder, I use no mods. I'm on a Macbook running version 15.01 of macOS Sequoia
Can anyone please assist me?
I've found numerous threads online regarding a similar issue but none of the things suggested have seemed to help.
@ERS94 and @Sammy_2coo I've merged your posts with the master thread for this error. Please see the first post on page one.
thank you! I'm not on windows which was why I was hoping to get some answers in another thread 🙂
@ERS94 If you have a Mac, please ask in the Mac tech forum:

I'm unaware of this issue on console, and if you're running Linux, I don't know enough to help. But this error is typically a permissions issue or something corrupt in the user folder in any case.
