    Hey @trrosales if you are basing the high CPU usage on Task Manage then it is important to remember that this info can be incredibly inaccurate. 

    Unless your computer is crashing with a BSOD due to this usage then it is nothing to worry about.

    For the error you are seeing, if repairing is not working then I would recommend that you reinstall the game fully.

I use mods for the Sims 4 and will occasionally repair my game to make sure I didn't ruin anything. For at least 3 months, I've stopped playing because the Sims 4 will repair itself every time I open origin. If I leave Origin open, it will automatically do this several times a day for all 30+ files. And it never finishes. Origin will crash or it will say download stopped. I've uninstalled origin and the sims 4 once, and its gotten better, but has not fixed the issue.
