First, open the Finder and go to the “Applications” folder. From there, find and open the “Origin” app.

Once Origin is open, click on the “My Game Library” tab at the top of the window. You should see all of the Sims 4 games that are installed on your computer listed here.

How to Completely Uninstall Sims 4 on a Mac

If you’re interested in freeing up some space on your Mac, or if you simply don’t want to use Sims 4 anymore, you can uninstall it completely. Completely uninstalling Sims 4 means removing not only the game itself, but also any saved data and user settings. Here’s how to do it:

First, you’ll need to quit out of Sims 4 entirely. To do this, open the game and go to the main menu. From there, click on the “Quit” option. Alternatively, you can press Command + Q on your keyboard.

Once Sims 4 is closed, open up a Finder window. Then, go to the “Applications” folder. Locate Sims 4 in the list of applications and drag it to the Trash. Alternatively, you can right-click on Sims 4 and choose “Move to Trash.”

Next, open up a new Finder window and go to the “Library” folder. Once there, navigate to the “Containers” folder. Inside of that folder, look for a folder called “com.ea.sims4” and drag it to the Trash. If you can’t find that exact folder, look for one that starts with “com.ea.”

After that, go back to the Library folder and navigate to the “Saved Application State” folder. Inside of that folder, look for a folder called “com.ea.sims4” and drag it to the Trash as well. Again, if you can’t find that exact folder, look for one starting with “com.”

Finally, empty your Trash and restart your Mac computer. Once it boots back up again, Sims 4 will be completely uninstalled from your system!

How to Reinstall Sims 4 on a Mac

If you’re looking to reinstall Sims 4 on your Mac, there are a few different ways you can go about it. We’ll outline the steps for each method below.

First, you’ll need to uninstall Sims 4 from your computer. To do this, we recommend using a tool like AppZapper. Once you’ve downloaded and installed AppZapper, simply drag the Sims 4 icon from your Applications folder into AppZapper. AppZapper will then find all of the associated files for Sims 4 and remove them from your computer.

If you don’t want to use AppZapper, or if it doesn’t find all of the files associated with Sims 4, you can also uninstall it manually. To do this, first open up Finder and go to your Applications folder. From there, find the Sims 4 folder and delete it. Next, go to your Home directory and delete the “Electronic Arts” and “The Sims 4” folders. Finally, empty your Trash.

Once you’ve uninstalled Sims 4, you can reinstall it by downloading it from EA’s website or from the App Store (if you purchased it through there). If you have an Origin account, you can also redownload Sims 4 from there.
