Origin Just Automatically Began Repairing My Game

I used to just play offline but from now on I will upgrade to shutting down the internet when I play Sims 4.

Turn off computer, pull the cable, start up, play. A little bit more fiddling about but I will feel much more relaxed while playing.

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 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?

So, for those of us who are having problems, does anyone know if this just an origin glitch/bug, or the way it's going to be from now on?

Bug it would seem, with the Origin update from the other day as far as I can tell. Judging from the answer HQ, it sounds like some other games have the verification problem as well.
The big question I have is whether origin is preventing the games from running, or if they somehow got corrupted during the verification/repair? A lot of folks are commenting that even after the forced verification/repair, they end up in a loop of verifying.

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??
