How to repair Sims4
I tried to open my game today after an update after not playing for a week + getting new CC, and it kept saying I couldn’t open due to corrupted game files/mods. So I tried to delete what I thought were the problem files (but I can’t really tell) and now it doesn’t give me that message but it just won’t open beyond the Origin launch message. I keep seeing that repairing the game might fix this, and that you can do that from the EA app but it’s not working. I can’t right click on the game and when I click manage it only shows me my add ons. Please help I have no idea what to do and am hesitant to download sims 4 studio
Hi. It's because you're playing on Steam, so you need to repair the game on Steam. To do so you have to:
- Restart your computer and launch Steam
- Next, you can either right click the game in your Library, or click the gear icon from the game's Library page on the far right
- From the drop down menu, select Properties...
- Select the Installed Files tab and click the Verify integrity of game files button
- Steam will verify the game's files - this process may take several minutes
