Re: EA App won't show update available for Sims 4

@ooftrashcan  The version inside installerdata.xml is the correct version, or at least it should be.  Do you see the infant life stage in CAS?  If so, you're running a fully-updated game.

The gameversion.txt in Documents can be blocked from updating by an antivirus, and of course it only updates after you've launched the game again.

A recent windows update, modified the notepad program to read emojis, that's why you cannot read the GameVersion.txt correctly. Follow the tips another user shared in this post
