Not able to update Sims 4

There should be an update available for the Sims 4 regarding the pregnancies and dragging of dishes, but when I open my EA app, there's no update available. I can start the game without problems, but the pregnancies are still gone and I can't drag any dishes towards the bin. 

I already tried repairing the game, clearing out the cache of the EA app and even launching the EA updater itself. Until now all the earlier updates came through and I could install those without problems.

Is there any way to force the newest update after all?

Many thanks in advance!

  • LiseAC​  Repairing the game should have given you the updated version.  Did the repair go through, and did you test afterwards?  If you did, and you still don't see version 1.116.232 in the lower-left corner of the Main Menu, delete GameVersion.txt, in Documents > Electronic Arts > The Sims 4, and look again.

    Edit:  If you have a Default.ini file inside Documents > Electronic Arts > The Sims 4, this could report the wrong version to the game even after you've successfully updated.  So please remove this file and view the version number on the Main Menu, as above.

    The game is always updating when I open steams even though I have updated  it a couple days ago. Now it wants me to update it again and it's the same update cause it has the same amount of data as the last one and the one before that. The update is 25,2 GT.   I have no idea why it keeps happening. Also I don't have any mods. Does anyone else have the same problem and if so does anyone have any idea how to make it g o away.
