orange triangles with exclamations.

@puzzlezaddict yes, they do.

@puzzlezaddict The only thing I've done that kind of helped, was when I had to delete the sims so I had enough space to download a big update on my Mac. when I downloaded the sims again it didn't have the triangles but they came back after I very small amount of time.

@Clarohine  How much free and total storage do you currently have on your Mac?  Click the Apple icon in the upper left corner of your screen, select About This Mac, and click the Storage tab.  Then click cmd-shift-4 and drag your cursor over the window to take a screenshot.

Knowing your storage, as Puzzlezaddict has asked for, would be REALLY helpful. Would you also be willing to share your save so I can test it? You can upload to a file sharing site then PM me the link

In Origin > Preferences > Installs & Saves, where is the game library location?

I’ve tried repairing my game too but it still didn’t work. Also when I make a new game the bug disappears but I don’t want to have to delete my saved game ss I will loose everything!

My game said items were uninstalled suddenly, and now there are triangle exclamation points over every lot. All of my saves are missing except the most recent, and while I can load into sims in the world, the worlds are completely empty and all the lots have been deleted. I've tried repairing the game multiple times, removing my mods folder, etc. I have a MacBook Air and my Sims 4 folder got moved to the iCloud, so I'm not sure if that has something to do with it? I moved the whole Electronic Arts folder to my desktop, updated my OS, restarted my computer, and nothing is working. Do I need to uninstall and reinstall the game? Will I lose everything? How can I fix this?! Any help is much appreciated!

Sounds like you have Optimise storage enabled, your Mac has no space left, and everything is being pushed to the cloud. See the opening post of this thread I've moved your post to.

[ashbatch16]

I followed the instructions you posted, and it seemed to change nothing.  Any other suggestions?  Maybe I did something wrong? The Electronic Arts folder appears to be back in Documents and I turned off everything else you said to do.

Let's check by doing a proper search. Please open Terminal and copy and paste the following command then hit Enter/Return:

find ~ -type d -name "*The Sims 4*" 2>/dev/null

After a little while it will return the results of the search. Please copy and paste the results in a post here.
