Sims 4 won't start because of 'missing or damaged files'
Hi!
I've recently bought the Sims 4 DOWNLOAD for mac and I have been trying to make it run for days now. But it won't. The message popping up is this:
Unable to start:
Cannot start because required GAME data is missing or damaged. Please try reinstalling the game.

Also, I have been looking for a Sims 4 folder everywhere on my COMPUTER, but it doesn't exist. I've reinstalled the game and Origin a couple of times already, but it doesn't help. Apparently more people have this exact issue, but up until now there is no solution.
What should I do?
Thanks you!
Are you using custom content ? This error usually occurs if you have a corrupt download.
If you are on Windows 10, this issue has something to do with missing rights. Try right clicking on the Origin Icon and use Start as Administrator.
