Origin Just Automatically Began Repairing My Game

It seems like every time I come to this forum there is yet another mess going on.

I haven't updated; I haven't even played since before the end of July patch that started all the fiasco. I don't think I'm going to bother any time soon. And if I do really feel like simming I'm definitely disconnecting from the Internet first.

For now, I am content to play non-EA games. For the first time in 7 years...

Okay following up from earlier, airplane mode has worked in my case best of luck to everyone else and mass sympathies for those that got caught in this update trap, bug from origin or not, it is still terrible.

I did the update and my game kept crashing. Not impressed.

I'm wondering if the problem came from the Origin update that happened just before all this drama occurred.

I updated My game after the update where they fixed aging in August, and I purchased HSY right after that. I’m pretty sure I was able to get back in my game through Origin at least once after that. But, I had a problem going in through origin last night saying the server had an error, and it would not let me see my games. I closed out, restated my computer and got the error again. I could go into my game through the short cut though.

I plan to try again tonight and see if Origin works for me tonight or not. It seems like a lot of people are having problems with Origin whether they have already updated their game or not.

I don’t even remember seeing an Origin update in the last few days.

This is supposed to be a game. You know, something you play with.

Why does everything have to be so (expletive deleted) difficult??

Exactly!
And unfortunately we love playing that much, we persist in trying to fix the problems they present us with!

I really do not see the point of this thread as a player origin is working fine no problems at all and sims4 loads just fine as well have you also check to make sure its not your anti virus blocking origin or the sims4 itself?

Good to hear at least one player is not experiencing any issues. Personally I think the fact that origin is suddenly forcing people to update without an option to play offline is something worth talking about. I usually postpone every update for a week or two to wait for mods, so I know perfectly how playing offline works. This time I was planning to play offline longer due to the many glitches. But EA and/or origin obviously don't agree with playing offline to avoid a patch any more. If I had known updating origin would result into this, I would not have updated at all. Next time I will definitely not trust an origin update without coming to the forums first.

But the damage to my game is done. All the new bugs and no way to go back to the previous version.

Indeed, I am surprised this thread is not on fire. Forced updates is bad - pretty much a gamebreaker for me.

This. So much this.

I always kept my Origin updated but if this is what's going to happen, no thanks.

We paid for a game, and we can't play it.
