Why are all of my sims red and white with question marks all over their bodies? It's like they all have a full body tattoo! I'm playing on Mac. At first I thought there was an issue with scenarios but then I tried to go into my usual saved games and they are all like that. Please help - it's very distracting.

Hi there!
I've had a few issues with my sims game in the past, but I've been able to quickly fix them until now!
I haven't opened my sims game in a few months since I've been busy, and was excited to finally sit down and play until the game data incomplete message popped up. I understand now it's to do with corrupted files in the game packs - I've experienced the red and white sims, missing world maps and llama icons, weird textures, and the error message. I'm playing on a mac with my game and game pack files on an external drive (the electronic arts folder is still on my hard drive) - I'm not sure if this has anything to do with it?
I've followed all the steps suggested in this thread, including:
I'm completely at a loss for what to do now! I've spoken to EA help but gave up since they kept redirecting me to threads on this forum anyway. I have no idea what started this since I just returned to the game being unplayable, and I'm getting pretty desperate!
I'd be so grateful to anyone who can give me advice
Thanks so much!

I love your post, I wish more people would clearly list everything they have tried when needing help, it's so helpful
When you uninstalled and reinstalled the whole game, did you also try a new clean TS4 folder then too?
Please can you provide more information about your Mac. Instructions on how to do so and what to provide here - http://answers.ea.com/t5/The-Sims-Mac/READ-FIRST-Sims-4-Mac-Help-Guides-and-Troubleshooting/m-p/4612...
What kind of external drive do you have, SSD/Flash or HDD?
What is the drive connection type?
Have you been unplugging and plugging back in your drive between playing sessions?
