Sims download not recognizing 'full disk access'
I am trying to download the sims 4 on my mac with an external hard drive. On the EA app, when I try to download the game, it immediately says "something went wrong" and that I need to give EA app full disk access in settings. The frustrating thing is that EA app DOES have full disk access in settings. I do not know what to do so that EA will recognize that it has full disk access. I have tried clearing the cache (manually as well), restarting the app, restarting my computer, etc. Please help!!!!
Expansion Pack Not Downloading
MAC User I bought Get to Work, Toddler Stuff, and Outdoor Retreat. Everytime I try to download them I get this error (pictured below). I bought other stuff packs after trying to download them and they have worked. It is just these three. I have cleared the cache, uninstalled and reinstalled EA and the game, restarted the app, restarted my laptop, probably more stuff I don’t even remember. i tried contacting EA Support twice, they are useless. Neither case got resolved and I’m currently trying to contact them again. I paid for those extra content packs and can’t even play with them. Also it’s not a space issue on my MAC, I’ve already checked.
Stuck on pending - then won't repair
Seriously I am at my WITS END. I have paid so much money for these games. Everything was fine, and then I got the 'game is not released' pop up. The game wouldn't repair so I just uninstalled it. Now it won't download. I have done everything - I have cleared my cache, I have downloaded the app again after deleting it - I have all but sacrificed a small animal. I am on a MAC and I just want to play my **bleep** game! It is stuck on pending and won't cancel. Then I try to download it and it starts again. So I make sure I delete the partial downloads. I have tried, I have failed. Please HELPWhy does the new EA app hate me so?!
I hadn't played since July 6, so when I opened the app yesterday, I wasn't able to play until I installed the latest update. Once that was complete, I played the game for maybe an hour, then saved and exited. The next day, I opened the app and it said much of my custom content was missing. Upon closer inspection, I realized that my most recent save file/household had been wiped from the game, as well! All of this is in addition to having to deal with a little window stating that the EA App is "being verified" appearing on my Mac screen for no apparent reason. Whatever happened to just, like, clicking on an icon to open a game? I'd rather play using a physical copy in my external optical drive than deal with all this rigmarole.
I can't find the Games Hub.
I have tried to open on the EA app and the game tile jumps up and down and then won't open. My EA app says I need to update it in the 'Games Hub Menu' but I have no idea where that is? I've tried un-installing it, removing Mods out and it still won't work. I just want to play The Sims.
Most recent game created will not load
I will create a new family, and play for a few hours. I will save before I exit out of the game or even go to the main menu, and that whole game will be lost. I will try to repair, but it still never shows up again causing me to start all over. I have tried to uninstall and re-install the software, and still doesn't work. This has been an issue since I moved to the EA game launcher instead of origin. Does anyone know how to fix this or has anyone else experienced similar issues?
sims 4 updates will not download
i updated my game on july 23rd with the latest patch. had major issues with that but this is one what this post is about. after a full day of fixing my game and finally getting it to work again, i see as i open the ea all today (july 25th) it says i need to update again. okay cool no problem, go to download it and it starts as normal. then as it is almost finished with the applying update process, i get an error pop up that says im running low on storage. i go check and i have 15gb available. surely this update isn’t 15+gb. i tried restarting the app, my whole computer, clearing extra storage, nothing is working. never had issues like this with origin, only began having issues when i was forced to switch to the ea app. please fix your platform before forcing people to use it.
