SIMS 4 KEEPS ON CRASHING AFTER DELETING SOME SORT OF FILE

[ Edited ]
★★ Novice

I downloaded sims 4 in December before and it worked until I deleted some kind of file this week and now there's only a popup window error saying:

The program Origin.exe has encountered a serious problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience.

(the picture below is the pop-up window)


It was always there when I opened the sims but the game worked out fine.

However, now sims 4 won't open.

What should I do? If you know a way to fix it, please reply ASAP! I love sims 4!!

 

P.S. I have deleted options.ini (accidentally emptied my trash with that in it) but when I open sims 4, there isn't a new file for options.ini when it is supposed to be there.

I'm not a tech guru but did you try to repair the game? (You get the option by right-clicking on the game icon on the origin menu).

My computer is a Mac (Air) and it has been updated to the newest version (OS X El Capitan Version 10.11.16)

I got my computer 3 years ago.

I have 55.38 GB free.

 

Is there any more facts that you need to know?? I will be glad if you figured out my problem! @crinrict

If you're on a mac, why are you not using the native Mac version ?

 

Does the game properly show up for you in Origin ?

 

You probably need to contact a game advisor for further help

Since Feb 2015 there's a mac version of the game.

 

Judging from your picture you're not using the mac version but PC through an emulator ?

 

You can download the Origin for mac to your mac and then download the Mac version through the Origin client

@blahsorandom11 Hello, i checked your account and it doesn't have a copy of the game, it was refunded some time ago. 

If the game's on another account, make sure you're using that one to try the download.
