Disk permissions loop in EA App on Mac with APFS external drive
Hi, I’m looking for help because I’m stuck in a disk permissions loop on macOS and EA support hasn’t been able to fix it. I’m using the EA App on Mac with an external WD Elements drive. The drive was previously NTFS, but I have successfully reformatted it to APFS using Disk Utility (GUID Partition Map). The drive now mounts correctly and I can manually read/write files to it in Finder with no issues. What I’ve already tried: Gave EA app Full Disk Access in System Settings → Privacy & Security Quit and relaunched the EA App Restarted my Mac Confirmed the external drive is APFS and not read-only Verified the drive appears normally in Disk Utility and Finder Despite this, the EA App still says it needs disk permissions and will not install or manage Sims 4 add-ons on the external drive. Has anyone run into this issue where: The external drive is already formatted correctly (APFS) Full Disk Access is enabled But the EA App still doesn’t recognize the permissions? Any help or advanced troubleshooting steps would be appreciated.

The EA App has a mind of its own. Even though I've toggled off auto open and all that, it will open on its own whenever it feels like. I've taken to putting it in the trash bin, and that seems to slow it down, but then it will revive itself, and move itself to the desktop just to open. I honestly don't know what to do.
Sims 4 there's a problem with your download
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.
EA App not launching on Mac
Hi I just got a problem opening the EA app on my Macbook. Yesterday it was fine, I could open the app and I could play the Sims 4. However, when I have tried to open the EA app today, when I have clicked the app icon, nothing appeared. I have already forced quit the app and restarted my Mac. I have already uninstalled and reinstalled the app. But it won’t help. My Mac is up to date anyway. Please fix or update it😢. I just wanna play the game. FYI: MacBook Air M4 with MacOS Tahoe 26.1EA games not available for Mac in New Zealand
I have been trying for ages to get Sims4 and it will not download and sometimes says "not available" when I try to download. My Mac is fully updated and I have the EA app. I tried downloading other EA games to see if it was just a Sims issue but nothing works.
