Origin Update Issue - Folder Does Not Exist

Can't even verify the game, same issue

I'm experiencing this same bug. the fold that it can't recognize, at least for me, is the origin game directory file as a whole. I can't install new games or update old ones. Basically, this isn't a problem with the sims 4 but the origin launcher itself.

I know this isn't going to help but like literal black magic origin started working again... I wish I knew what caused the problem but for now, I'm just glad it's working again

Well funny enough I was actually going to post about this today - it magically started working for me again as well! Perhaps this was a temporary glitch for some users??

Running Origin as administrator helped me immensely for some reason.

It's not working still :/ I can't even find the sims 4 folder...

I'm having the same issue with Mass Effect.  Origin is in admin mode.  It says the file is in read only mode when you dig into it.  I changed that, but it changes back.  I haven't used origin in a year or so.  Is there a way to update it?

So I looked this up and apparently "read only", despite there being a checkbox in the properties window for them, is not a state that exists for folders, and the real solution seems to be to go under the security tab in the properties window for the folder and give "ALL APPLICATION PACKAGES" permissions to write and modify.
