Sims 4 installed but not installing update?

Hello all,

I've tried removing the EA App, Sims 4 install fine, but then obviously wants to update, but it doesn't start.

I also repaired the game, but it only repairs the base game and then gets stuck with the icon being a lovely yellow, but no error message either..

There is no error message or any indication why it's not updating either..

I get to the part where I accept the terms of play, and then nothing..

Help?!

    Hi @CatDeliah

    Is it getting stuck at "preparing" when it's trying to update, or is it just not showing any sort of progress at all? 

  • Thank you for getting back to me. 

    There is no progress at all and no suggestion that it's doing something.

    @CatDeliah 

    Got it, thanks! Have you had the chance to try clearing the cache for the EA app to see if that helps? For more info on how you can clear it check out the EA Help website

    Let me know how that goes if you're able to give it a shot. 

  • Sorry, I should have mentioned this in my first post, I tried that yesterday, along with restarting my laptop etc.

  • I tried to install the new sims 4 update but nothing happens. I select update, then continue and nothing happens. 

  • I managed to get it to work.

    I removed the Sims and then installed the game again without any add ons, this worked really well and everything updated and installed.

    I hope that it will work for you as well.

  • @CatDeliah so you uninstalled the game? I thought of doing that but it will remove all add ons. Did you have to reinstall all the games? And did you lose your progress?
