the sims 4 keeps saying cannot start because game data is missing or damaged

I have managed to fix the game by deleting a custom content file that was not compatable with  the game

@Bondsomalia

Custom content is something that you add yourself, so if you don't know about it then you probably have another issue. Start your own thread and explain your issue and someone will try to help you!

But if you want to know, mods and cc are placed in C:\Users\Username\Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims\Mods

(Might be a little different depending on your computer setup, but something like that)

hi, i only just downloaded the game and it's coming up as having missing or damaged game data and i haven't ever even played it before let alone downloaded custom content !!!!!! pls help me !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Rightclick the game in Origin Game Library and select repair.

What if I've already repaired and I don't have any custom content but it's still going to be giving me that error?

Hey @hayleyl2007, please do not bump older threads such as this.

If having an issue then please create a new thread with as much info as possible.
