How to repair game?

I posted a mod related bug question. Someone "answered" it and made it so I can't comment on said post. So now I'm here.

They told me to repair the game. I launch Sims through Steam and I don't think I'm even signed into the EA app. Every where I look, people say to click 'verify integrity of game files' after clicking properties and then installed game files. I do that and then what? Because that certainly doesn't fix the game, and no one says to do anything every that.

  • FairClarity  If you've selected Properties > Installed Files > Verify integrity of the game files, you've repaired the game through Steam.

    A mod-related issue is not a game bug by definition.  Bugs are instances of the game not functioning as the developers had intended, but that only means the game itself, not third-party content.  Because of the way this site was built, bug reports can't be moved to other forums, so anything that's not a genuine bug report gets locked and the user sent to the relevant subforum.  It's an imperfect workaround to the current setup.  The alternative, to leave non-bug-related threads in the bug forum, risks wasting QA's time on issues that are not caused by a problem with the game itself.

    If you'd like mod-related help, there's a Mods subforum here:

    The Sims 4 Mods & Custom Content | EA Forums

    Or we can move this thread to the Mods forum.  You can ask for that in a reply here, or just hit the Report button (click the cog wheel in the upper-right corner of the page, underneath your username) and request that the thread be moved to Mods.
