[CURRENT ISSUE] Patch Update endlessly looping

Problem

Origin alerted me of a new patch but after I update, the game just wants to update again like an endless loop.

Cause

Probably some other mess-up in Origin.

This issue now also seems to crop up with every patch and here's a few suggestions you can try. If none of these help, please post in this thread, stating your antivirus software and what you've tried.

Suggestions

  1. Clear Origin Cache files
  2. Reinstall Origin (you will not loose your games by doing this)
  3. Right click on the game in Origin and hit repair game.
  4. Change the origin language and back
  5. Make sure your antivirus software is not blocking Origin from accessing the Sims files
  6. Disable Auto-Updates
  7. Run Origin as Administrator
  8. Download EA Desktop Beta and try to update through that instead.

    I had this issue (yet again) with the patch. Fixed it straight away by changing the language setting in Origin, then changing it back again.

    Why did this work??.....I have no idea!
