can anyone help me fix my outdated game. its really weird i dont think it has messed anything up but my game has been outdated since 2020 and i had no idea until recently. ive tried to fix it using the anti virus and turning off anything trying to block it from updating but its still not working. it says my game version is The Sims 4 version: 1.69.59.1020 and that it is outdated. help pleaseeeee
@Emiii20078 In Origin with the Sims 4 icon did you try the settings (the cog) option to update game? What antivirus are you using?
no i havent tried that. i used discord for help but they didnt really guide me that well. i was told that if i opened the game and loaded a household it would update its self but it didnt. so i will try updating it with origin and my antivirus is norton security
@Emiii20078 Third party security programs may (probably) not be set to allow Origin through the firewall..Either turn off Norton, then update game, turn Norton back on. IMO the antivirus that comes with Windows works just fine. Turning off Norton should (supposed to) enable the Windows antivirus program so your machine will (should) still be protected. The problem is the game installer makes changes to the firewall. These changes may (probably) won't work because the game installer doesn't know how to configure third party security programs.. This may be why your game is not automatically updating. Having used third party antivirus programs I found I was having problems with some games. I quit using third party programs and have been using the Windows included free antivirus and found it works quite well. and its free as it comes with Windows operatting system. I've never used Norton so I can't help you with that.
@Emiii20078 A quick question. Where are you seeing this version? What does the version read in the lower right of the loading screen say?
i am seeing the version in like folders. if i go onto the game version file it says 1.69.59.1020. i was told it was outdated by a the mc commands discord server. i dont think it says the version on the loading screen ive never seen that before
