@dzm06 I found out what I had to do. It still crashed when in safe mode. So I reset NRAM (nonvolatile random-access memory), I did it by pressing option+command+p+r right after turning the Mac on, held those buttons down for 20 seconds and the problem was gone later

@SylviadjGreat news! Thanks for confirming the fix. Please keep an eye on it and let us know if the behavior comes back at some point.
It's amazing how many things NVRAM and SMC resets can fix.

okay, i've never asked stuff on ea forums before so im sorry if i'm bad at this but i've been searching everywhere for help.
when i click the sims 4 in my game library, i'm met with a pop-up (from origin, not a virus) that says "Please choose another folder". it then takes me to application settings, and i select "installs & saves" when i do, i see this. i click "change folder" but nothing happens.
once i hit restore default and that worked for a few seconds, but then it stopped and this cycle continued

I have a macbook air (updated to catalina) and I am trying to download my sims games onto a hard drive.
When I click on the "change library location" in the origin settings under "on your computer" nothing happens.
I click the "change folder" button and nothing happens. I've uninstalled and reinstalled origin so many times and also restarted my macbook.
The only button that responds on that page is the "browse installers" option.
Can anyone help?
edit: essentially a similar problem to giabees but I don't get the error. Its just unresponsive.
