Hi!
Having trouble downloading sims 4 through origin on my mac.
The error coming up says “Your download has been paused - Origin needs to download files and is waiting for permission. Please choose Yes when Windows prompts you for permission.”
No window or pop up comes up and all the troubleshooting for this issue comes up with solutions for PC not mac— I’ve uninstalled and reinstalled origin multiple times now and have gone through and removed any stray sims files from when it was on my mac last.
Any help at all is appreciated, cheers
Edit: macOS 10.15.2

You have to go to System Preferences > Security and Privacy > General. The permission to continue to download Origin will be there at the bottom - you have to accept.
Please reply if anything further happens.
Thanks!

Hey!
Cheers for the suggestions!
Unfortunately running the system preferences > Security/privacy > general didn't seem to initiate any pop-ups for me to accept.
Also, I've been making sure to check behind any active windows and minimising them during the "resuming" process to ensure I don't miss any authorization pop-ups and still nothing :-(
Have attached a photo of the first method + the error window for any additional input/insight,
Again thanks for the help, any further suggestions are greatly appreciated,
Olivia
