I've been trying to download for 3 hours now and every few minutes it keeps coming up with download failed cannot reach server and I have to restart it again. My interent connection is fine, everything else is working. I'm not very good at tech type stuff- can anyone help? Click Download and The Sims 4 will start to download in your Origin Library. Once the download is complete, you’ll be able to launch The Sims 4 and start playing. Transfer saves files from PC to Mac. Though The Sims 4 doesn’t support Origin cloud storage, transferring your save files between the PC and Mac versions of the game is easy. I recently just updated to the new origin, I then had to update the sims 4 games. I've been trying to update the Sims 4 game for the last two days and it only progresses 2-5% each time before i get this alert.

Changing the Installation Path

For EA games you can set the default installation path of a game through Origin

Click on Origin – Application Settings and choose the tab Installation and Saves.

In Game Library location you can set the default path for all EA games.

The Sims 4 For Mac

Changing the path will not automatically move already installed games to a different location but all newly installed games will get their own folder within that path.

The path given there will tell you where you’re game is probably installed, especially if you never changed it.

C:Program Files(x86)Origin Games is the default path.

There’s no option to set the path individually for each game. If you want to install the game at a different place then the rest, change the location of the library before installing the game and change it back after the installation is done or simply move the game after installing.

Moving a game to a different installation path

Sometimes it desirable to have your game on a different location from where it was initially installed. For example if you bought a new hard drive and want the games on there, or the space on your c drive is getting sparse and you need to free up some space, or you simply did some reorganization on your drive and want it somewhere else.

I do not recommend installing the game on an external drive or USB stick.

Up till now, you had to uninstall the game and reinstall it again on the new location, which also meant to redownload the entire game.

Sims 2 Mac Download

Origin now has an option to help with that. You can just move it with a single click and Origin will do all the needed registry updates for you.
