[Tuto] How to Fix Origin for The Sims Downloads & Updates

Hey you guys, this is my first tutorial for The Sims 4. XD


When I went continue the update of my TS4, Origin simply told me:

I had headaches trying to fix this problem, because I never could update my game. Even when I uninstalled myTS4 or even the Origin, this would never get a solution. But I have found two ways to fix it.

Before going do this, I recommend you do this process. *Windows*

  • Press Windows Key + R and type %ProgramData%, then hit Enter. Delete the Origin folder.
  • Press Windows Key + R and type %AppData%, then hit Enter. Delete the Origin folder.
  • In the path C:\Users\You\AppData\Roaming click in AppData, open Local folder and delete the Origin folder.

1st solution is...

Step 1: I recommend you do a backup of all your files: Screenshots, Sims and Packages and leave in a safe place.

Step 2: Open your Origin account, go to The Sims 4 box and using your mouse, right-click on the box choosing the option "Update game". If the error persists...

Step 3: Follow the Step 2, but choose "Repair game" instead.

2nd solution is...

Step 1: Open your Origin account, go to the tab as in the image below...

...and click in Origin> Application Settings> Advanced>

Step 2: Scroll down searching for Safe Mode Downloading. When you find it, check the option below and back to your games page.


Step 3Go to The Sims 4 box and using your mouse, right-click on the box and choose the option "Update game". After you finish the update, I recommend you uncheck this option.
