May 4 Update Failure

I have a similar problem, tried to download the update today gets to 100% then pauses by itself. tried un-pausing several times but it always gets ti 100% then pauses. tried repair same happened here got to 100% repair then paused!

Tried the CCleaner which just cut me off from EA support chat and didn't solve the problem. Any ideas?

Try deleting your Origin cache files: http://sims4.crinrict.com/en/2014/09/delete-origin-cache-files/

DO NOT DELETE: C:\ProgramData\Origin\LocalContent

I'm on Windows 8.1. When I go to C: > Program Files > Origin none of those files are there. 

Okay, I've deleted all the relevant files. This did absolutely nothing, Sims 4 is still grayed out in Origin. Any other suggestions? 

Do you get any option if you right click on the game in Origin ? Is the whole game greyed out or just the Play button ?

The whole game is grayed out, including the play button.

When I right click I have a few options including check for update (which does nothing) and game properties, but there is no repair option. 

Then I'm afraid I probably can't help you further.
