Game repair?

I made short cut doesn't work, tried restarting computer before making short cut didn't work. Any other suggestions as how to get my game to run since the origin update?

I had a problem with Origin not working due to missing MSVCP140.dll. Wouldn't let me get into Origin at all. I couldn't even uninstall it to reinstall. I downloaded the EA App and was able to access my game with that. It is still in Beta but worked well for me. My grandson fixed Origin for me but I am keeping the EA App too. Maybe the app would work for you?

Mods and Custom Content, CC, are a major source of most bugs.

I think my game might be afflicted with the under-age romance bug… And if it is, it’s definitely a problem with the game because I can’t use mods or CC on the PlayStation 4.

I’ve only seen one instance of the potential bug, and it happened too fast for me to get a screenshot. All I can say is that I had 3 teen mermen turn down a romantic advance at the same time, right before they disappeared from the lot. I didn’t see the interaction or who the other one involved was.

But, as far as I can tell, most of the merfolk sims on the lot had their sexual orientation updated in CAS. The only unknowns are the townies.

I have only 3 mermen in my game that will engage in gay romance. 2 mermen married to each other, and 1 bisexual merman married to a mermaid.

But, game lag and the saving issue I experienced have been resolved. Still too early to know if there’s a romance bug.

I prefer to let my sims discover their own identity, but I’m on the 3rd/4th generation of a couple legacies.

Cousins in these legacies have the option to romance each other despite not being more than cousins once removed.

Thank you, @Crazyfrog! You have a great day too! :)

My game was auto patched, too. I first thought it didn't, but it turns out I have body hair as well as new cell phone layout, so here we go... At least my can't-play-without mods were updated.

Now i got a question if there are any EA Beta testers out there... do i have an option to 'repair' the game in that app ?

In the app, when I tried to play offline it said you need to repair your game as there might be a corrupted game. I did so and it kicked me back online as when it was done, the sims 4 icon was up and it said play, so game was patched as well grrr. So now I am stuck. I didn't bother to try to go offline again as damage was done.

This just happened to me. I cancelled it and set Origin to offline... and now I can't launch my TS4 game at all. Infuriating.

It might still work with a shortcut. Have you tried that?

Yup. I've tried both via the Origin interface, and also using the TS4 .exe shortcut on my desktop. Never had this problem before - I pretty much always have my Origin offline, so I can wait until mods etc. are updated before patching my game.

It's sure frustrating not being allowed to decide when to patch our game.
I'm glad that both my fave mods were upgraded with the HSY patch and were not affected by yesterday's repair. So, I think the forced patching at least won't cause new problems re mods. At least not mods that were updated recently.

I had updated my game after they fixed the aging bug in August and bought and downloaded HSY through Origin. I played after that and everything was fine. But when I tried to go into Origin late last night It said there was a server error. My games didn’t show up either. I closed out and restated my computer, but it still said server error when I went into Origin. I have a sims 4 shortcut on my desktop, so I went in that way and my game worked fine ( even got gallery things pop up from the internet ). I know other people have got this server error too, so it must be something wrong with Origin.

Has anyone noticed Origin fixed yet?
