Download in Progress Sims 4 - PROBLEM

Hi, for the past week I have been having a problem with my game. I have sims 4 on another PC with Get to work expansion. However as  I wanted to install it on my new PC also the 'Get to Work' expansion has stopped downloading and it seems like it has froze. As it says 'Download in Progress, launching this game while a download is in progress can negatively impact game play.' It stayed on 98% and it isn't downloading further. 

I have uninstalled origin and re-installed it however it didn't work it's still the same. What to do?! Help me please?! 

  • I found a solution by someone however i forgot to note their username down. Credit to anyone but me. I just found out how to find the Program Data folder as it's hidden.

    You have to find a Program DATA folder it's different from Program Files. So i suggest you to go on Origin: 

    1.Application settings 

    2.Advanced 

    3.Click on Browse Game Installers 

    4.It will take you to a folder, before deleting it. Close origin app completely.

    5. You will then find a origin file- Right click and delete it 

    6. Delete it from your recycle bin .

    7.Restart your origin and your game will automatically start to re-download again 🙂.

    That's basically what I suggested. Please do be careful, see link, don't delete the C:\ProgramData\Origin\LocalContent\ because that can cause a lot of problems.
