It should not, but if you tell us which game you are worried about, we can assist you in making sure that you have a backup of your save.

You mean reinstalling Origin?

If so, no it will not.

Still, it is always best to make a backup of your "C:\Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 4" folder to an external drive. If you have don't have a backup and you get serious problems on that machine, the progress will be lost.

So three years ago i was playing Sims 4 just fine but then something happened which wouldn't let me play at all?I was quite young so i just left it until now.When i would go to Origin it'd say i'm offline and wouldn't let me play my game,it said i needed to update it.So i tried updating and when it said it was complete it wouldn't let me go on Origin at all?So i decided to uninstall it and delete it and it's files,then after try reinstalling it.But now when i'd reinstall Origin it'd say something's missing and to try again,so i did but it'd say the same thing.I don't know what to do or how to fix it but i just want to play the game so badly but it won't allow me to;It'd say Origin would be uninstalled and deleted even after i'd reinstall from the website.Do u know how i could fix this problem? Thank you.

I downloaded OriginThinSetup to play apex legends and when i click open it tells me system error "The code execution cannot proceed because MSVCP140.dll was not found. reinstalling the program may fix this problem." i go to reinstall the same thing and it just says the same thing pls help ☹️

Hi becca25co,

Normally you would just log out and completely exit Origin and then click on Start > Control Panel  > Programs and Features > and then double click on Origin.

Should you still have issues afterwards, this is how you can manually uninstall: https://help.ea.com/article/manually-uninstalling-origin

After you are done uninstalling, you can re-install the game by visiting this page: http://www.origin.com/download

• Go here  > Download both files, "vc_redist.x64.exe"  and "vc_redist.x86.exe"
• Install both VC runtime.
• Reboot your computer.
• Test the Origin installation again.

I tried to run the Origin update, but after it ran 12 hours I killed it, uninstalled Origin, and ten went to theorigin site and downloaded the originthinsetup file.  but when I try to open it or run it, it tells me windows cannot find the Origin file.  help!

@Fractal66 

Try the full installer found here. 

Run the "OriginSetup.exe" as Administrator > Right click the "OriginSetup.exe" > Run as Administrator.
