i’ve tried everything so this is my last source of help. I deleted the Sims 4 because it was taking up too much space and instead of getting an uninstaller which I didn’t know I needed. I just simply put the Sims 4 Electronic Arts folder in the trash and I deleted it now I want to play the game again and I’m trying to download it and it’s just saying paused and it says the installation folder is missing. I’ve created a dummy file which I put in my EA Games folder to try and download it that way, but it’s not working. What do I do? i’ve also cleared the cache I’ve done everything like how can I fix this?
