Origin just updated, and when I went to play (I usually play offline), it wouldn't let me, and next minute my game began repairing.
Once it was done, I couldn't go off line to play, and it wanted to update to the new patch.
It's now repairing again!
Anyone else have this happen?
Origin is doing the same for me. When I open up it immediately starts repair, although I thought it was updating. For once I want to postpone a sims 4 update indefinitely and now this.
On top of that all my games are just blanc boxes, I can't click on play. I read someone else had this and had to restart their pc but that didn't fix it for me.
I had auto-update turned to the OFF position. It was like that the day before the Patch hit for HSY. So, when I opened up my game that day I was horrified to find the update in progress! I have MODS. I quickly paused the update (something I never do) and pulled my Mods folder out of the game. It did the same thing to me when the smaller patch came out. Sadly, my rescued Mods folder was basically empty of its contents the second time, despite others suggesting it was too small to harm mods. (No it didn't harm them, it just removed them. :open_mouth: ) I had saved some mods in another folder on my desktop and was able to retrieve a small mod another player whipped up for me. Phew! And I was able to redownload the others I needed. But what a mess.
Back on point, I haven't yet opened Origin today. Yesterday I got the blank page thing, reported by others. I have a shortcut for Sims4, that I made accidentally one day ages ago. I was able to get into my game. Phew! I pray, my saves aren't blank boxes. I made copies of both of my saves, made several days prior to the coming Patch for HSY. I just don't wish to have to start either one of them over again. My second one is the Flashback for the Main save. I took my Global Superstar, Rock Star, through his high school years. He's just five days away from aging to YA.
Same here. I always have auto-update turned off. The origin update wouldn't let play off line. Not with the shortcut, not with being online before starting origin, not with origin start online and the switch to offline mode,... nothing worked. It was either repair and update or no game at all. Luckily I cancelled repair the first time and took out my mods before letting the repair (and as it turns out the update) do it's thing.
But I am very frustrated over being forced to patch like this. :rage: I have no interest in wants or fears, no plans to buy new DLC anytime soon and definitely don't want the most recent bugs. I was perfectly fine playing offline. But origin wouldn't let me. :(
