Origin Sims 4 Verifying Game Files

  • @Roosmarijn‌
    The game should have its place in the Applications folder somewhere.
    Anyway, I have one thing you can attempt. If you right click Sims 4 in Origin (My Games tab), and select 'Repair game' (It might not be this exact wording, it's my translation from what it says on my Danish system)
    That solved some Sims 3 issues for me recently.
  • Do you have any custom content? I got this exact message and removed my cc and it worked again.
  • Hello!
    I repaired the game, but it still won't work. I do have the Sims 4 icon in my applications folder, but no game files. And I don't have any custom content either. So the mystery remains so far...
  • Have you tried uninstalling Sims 4, and then reinstalling it?
    To uninstall it, open Origin, right click The Sims 4, select Uninstall.
    Open your Documents folder on your mac, and MOVE the folder 'Electronic Arts' to the desktop.
    Reinstall the game.
    Allow the game to create a new folder for the save games, and start the game. If the game starts, close it, DELETE the Electronic Arts folder in the Documents folder. And MOVE in your own save games that you moved to the desktop earlier. (The Electronic Arts folder).
    If the game now refuses to start, the error is in the Save games folder, if the game starts, then the error was somewhere in installation.
    Hope this helps.
  • Thank you very much for you help, Lunder89! The game finally started!
  • Could you use the old save games, or did you have to start over?
    I would like to know if other people ask the same question! :smiley:
  • I know this is old but if anyone new comes along on here who has this problem or a simmilar problem where their game wont start up, read this blog post - lafedemeter.blogspot.com (wont let me post links on here yet but search it)
    it tells you that it could be something in your Mods folder that is sopping the game from starting up! :)
  • I had this same error! I have windows, but this worked. Thanks!
  • hi. i would like to ask how to open the sims 4 when it is in PAR file? I recently copied the game from my cousin's laptop, and when i'm trying to open it, it wont. What should i do?

    @michipoticano That sounds like you don't own a legitimate copy of the game. Discussions surrounding pirated games are not allowed on the forums.

    With that said necroing threads (this one was last active 2 years ago) is also against the above linked rules - please read them over.
    Thanks,

Sims 4 Stuck On Verifying Game Files Mac

Okay so have installed the game through Origin, im on a macbook pro, version 10.14.6, i have installed the game, opened it several times, saved the game, changed the two options in other, and i still do not have an electronic arts file. I dont have a file in documents at all it just shows me origins and sims 4 app when i look up electronic arts. Im having trouble updating The Sims 4 on origin, I try to update it but the update stays on 0% on 'verifying game files'. I'm using a MacBook pro (13-inch, 2017) version 10.12.6. I've tried restarting my mac and re-downloading origin, yet it still won't work. I can't play the sims until it updates so i'd appreciate any help available, thanks!
