I get a warning message about corrupted files whenever I try to play The Sims 4.

★★★ Novice

I tried to play The Sims 4, but after I clicked the play button, I got a message saying,

 

Unable to start:

Cannot start because the below file appears to be corrupted. Please repair or reinstall the game via Origin.

/Applications/The Sims 4 copy.app/Contents/Data/Client/UI.package

[bdbb60ea:29f00e76:00000000:00000000]

 

I continued to try, but the message still showed up. I restarted and got the same warning. I have never had this problem before, or any problem for that matter. Also, I am on mac.

 

PLEASE HELP!

Try right clicking the game in Origin, and choose 'repair game'.

Hi @NerdGoddess98

 

Try resetting your user files as described in the factory reset described in this post: http://answers.ea.com/t5/The-Sims-4/FAQ-Troubleshooting-Steps-amp-Known-Issues/m-p/3621199

 

You won't loose anything. Just make sure to not delete any files  and make a backup.

 

After renaming, repair your game by right clicking on the game in Origin.

 

Try on a new game with nothing added back first (start new game). If it works, put back your save game and try again. If it still works, you can start putting stuff back.

 

  • Options.ini (or just re-set all your settings manually)
  • Tray Folder
  • Screenshots/Videos/Custom music
  • Rest of the save games (leave out slot_00000001.save which is the autosave and no longer needed - if you still have it)
  • Custom content like clothing, hair, skins, make up ....
  • Mods (one by one, making sure they all still work)

The rest does not need putting back, cause they are mostly cache files that recreate or log files that are not needed for the game.

Good Luck

I don't know if it can help, but my problem was solved. I removed everything from their folders (as in no sub folders inside of the mod folder). It is a bit of a mess, but it works
