Can't uninstall or retrieve Sims 3 Game

[kelsiear]

I've been trying to reopen Sims 3, but I can't access the game. A while ago, I downloaded the game onto a bootcamp drive (which I know was dumb) and have tried everything to retrieve it, but can't find it. There's no evidence of the game on my computer and everytime I try to open the game, it closes immediately. There is no uninstall option in origin, so I can't do that. Any suggestions?

@kelsiear  Is your computer still Bootcamped, and if so, are you trying to play on the Windows side or the Mac side of the partition?  Uninstalling is quite different depending on what OS you're working with.  If you're trying to play in macOS though, here's how to manually uninstall:

There's nothing wrong with installing the game in Bootcamp—a number of us have done so with no apparent ill effects.
