Sims 4 Saying it's corrupted, but I have no mods or no way to repair it.

[Spoowear]

I'm having trouble trying to start my Sims 4, it keeps saying it's corrupted but I just installed it. I had no CC on it and I don't know how to fix it since Origins doesn't work anymore and made me move to the EA app. Please help me

@Spoowear  If you've downloaded any mods or custom content at all, please move the Mods folder to the desktop.  This is relevent even if every mod or cc item is confirmed compatible with the current patch level: that information could be inaccurate, or the downloads could be corrupted.

If that's not the issue, please try pausing OneDrive syncing.  You can see the option by right-clicking the cloud icon in the lower-right corner of the desktop.

If that doesn't help either, please let me know what antivirus you use.

I did get it on steam if that helps, I'm trying to verify all the files using steam to see if that will work. I looked it up and it was recommended to do that.

Going to see if it works now, I'm nervous

No it did not work, I still need help. I'm on the newest version of Windows, I just got the sims 4 on steam. There should be no reason why it's doing this. I'm getting the same notification from the first post. Please help me.

I found the mods, now I feel like a big dumb dumb. I didn't go to documents, then to electric arts, then into sims 4, then into the mods folder, and then I found them. I FINALLY FOUND THEM I FEEL SO STUPID BECAUSE WHY DIDIN'T I REMEMBER THAT OR THINK TO DO THAT AGAIN TO FIND THE MODS.
