Re: Orgin not installed for Sims 4 so i cant play it

@bsunflowers  Try clearing Origin's cache, then uninstalling it "the hard way."

Download the full installer, and run it as an admin: right-click on the download and select "Run as administrator."  This is a direct download link:

Then restart your computer.  When Origin is installed, run it as and admin too.

    Yeah, this works. But the problem re-appears every few months. It's time-consuming and tedious to fix it. EA software is such a horrible kludge.
