hi! im sorry for the late answer. i cleared the cache and repaired the game. opened the game twice, pop ups still there. ive made a new admin account but when i open the game there theres no packs at all so no pop ups lol
@koalicja228 Just to be sure, you checked in the new account and none of your packs loaded in-game? Please list the location where you've installed Sims 4, according to the EA App. Open your game library, click Sims 4, select Manage > View properties, and you'll see it there:
Please also list the location of the Documents directories in your main and new Windows accounts. Search in Windows for command prompt, open it, and enter this command, starting with reg query:
reg query "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Shell Folders" /v "Personal"
In each case, you can write [username] rather than your actual username, but please leave the rest intact.
1. on both accounts, the install location is C:\Program Files\EA Games\The Sims 4
2. On both accounts, this is what popped up after typing this command : HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Shell Folders
Personal REG_SZ C:\Users\koali\OneDrive\Dokumenty
also, after putting up this command on my main admin account, the packs appeared in the 2nd account. but now the pop ups are appearing on both accounts
@koalicja228 The problem is probably OneDrive. The second account didn't help because you didn't make it local. A local account means one that isn't linked to your Microsoft account, as I mentioned, and it therefore couldn't use your OneDrive data. The fact that you can access OneDrive from your second account by definition means you've linked it to your Microsoft account.
Please create another new account, and this time, make absolutely sure it's local. Here's how:
Then test, a few times, and see whether you keep getting the pop-ups.
hi! ive made another account, ill add u proof that its local. the onedrive is disconnected on that account, as the cloud is crossed off. ive opened the game up about 3 times, and the pop-ups are still there on the local account.
@koalicja228 Honestly, I have no idea why this is happening. Once you've clicked through the notifications, you shouldn't ever see them again, and I haven't seen any recent reports of this same issue. You can try the other suggestions here:

But beyond that, I don't know what to tell you, unfortunately.
