Sims 4 Delta GP03 file corrupted??

So, I downloaded the previous update to my game and was able to get in fine and everything loaded properly. I went to turn the mods on and exited out of the game and then the EA app said it needed to be updated again.

I was confused, but tried to redownload the update, but then I got an error message about a missing file? 

I go to where the file is and it says it's corrupted and I can't access it. I've tried clearing the cache on the app, repairing the game, uninstalling and redownloading the game, removing the mods, I tried deleting the file itself and nothing. I don't know what to do. I moved my game to an external hard drive last year to free up space on my boyfriends computer and I can't even move in back to see if that helps. I'm at the point where I want to delete the game entirely and I don't want to lose any of my saves or my sims but I feel like I have to at this point and I don't even know if that'll fix it. I haven't been able to play for months, but I've definitely played more recently than January 14th, I don't even know why it says that. I need help, I've reached out to EA and nothing so I'm hoping this will help before I destroy my game entirely and wipeout my precious sims.

    notsav_digs​  Try doing a clean uninstall and reinstall of the game, as described in the accepted solution of this thread (for a different error, but the process is the same):

    [CURRENT ISSUE] Sims 4 DLC shows as installed, won't load in-game | EA Forums - 11831673

    And if your external drive is formatted as FAT32 or exFAT, please reformat it as NTFS before proceeding.  This would erase the drive, so if you have other data you don't want to lose, move it to the internal drive first.  You can see the format type by clicking Windows key-X and selecting Disk Management.

    Alternately, you could partition the drive in Disk Management, formatting only the empty partition and leaving the rest as-is.  Be sure to make the partition large enough for Sims 4 and updates since you won't be able to resize it later without a third-party tool.  100 GB for the game itself should be enough for a while, or 150 GB if you never want to do this again.
