Cannot Connect to EA servers Sims 4

Has anyone addressed this origin??

I also have this problem. Can I ask where you are in the world geographically? Do you use VPN

I'm in the U.S. The game got released to us on the 1st. I didnt need a VPN

I have about 4 times today, 3 yesterday. No answers. 

Just tried that, and it didn't work. 

Moving on, try the following:

1. Hold down the Windows key and press R. (This will open the Run dialogue.)
2. Type cmd and press Enter. (This will open a command prompt.)
3. Type ipconfig /flushdns and press Enter.
4. Type ipconfig /registerdns and press Enter.
5. Type ipconfig /release and press Enter.
6. Type ipconfig /renew and press Enter.
7. Type netsh winsock reset and press Enter.
8. Reboot the computer.

 Also make sure that Origin and The Sims 4 are added to the white lists of both your antivirus and firewall.

If neither of these help, try the steps provided in this article:

tried all of the commands, didn't work. Did everything that i was instucted through the link, nothing worked. Then I uninstalled and reinstalled Orgin, but because its offline I cant log in now.

Before I do this, May I ask what does this do to my computer?  WIll it make permanent change or anything?

This solution worked for me

I opened internet explorer and went to the Origin website but did not login. I clicked the little gear wheel in the top right corner of the browser.

Click Internet Options

Click Security Tab

Click Trusted Sites

Click Sites in the little box

A window popped up & had the origin web address in the 'add this website to the zone' box.

Click Add
