I've redownloaded the game and removed all CC AND redownloaded origin and it still only reopens origin if i try to launch the game. Before I uninstalled it would only open if there was custom content, but the text would be missing.
@Agg_J11 Again, if you want help with a Mac issue, please post in the dedicated Mac tech forum:

If you've switched to a Windows PC, please let me know what happens when you try to play.
DOWNVOTE!
If I did not have a back up file, I would have lost all my saves & mods doing this. Delete this asap! And no one else follow these instructions
@15tpsg3j0r90 There's no downvoting here, and no one is going to delete my post because you didn't read carefully. At no point did I say delete anything; I said move the files, which would of course leave them intact. So if you deleted the originals, you weren't following the instructions.
@puzzlezaddicthi! i tried moving the sims 4 folder but it wont let me, saying that an unexpected error is keeping me from copying the file.
@ZeyaKae Restart your computer and try again. If you still can't move the folder, rename it. This has the same effect: the game won't be able to find the folder if it's not called "The Sims 4."
Please also make sure you're working with the Sims 4 folder in Documents > Electronic Arts, not the one in Program Files.
so the same thing happened to me and I took a folder out and it's working thank you
