Re: Repair Game option reverts game to its old version (1.121 -> 1.120)

I can no longer open the game. It said user data folder were created by a newer version of Sims. 🤔

    I have the EXACT same issue.. i tried repairing and it has done absolutely nothing. I removed all mods and cc before updating the game too.

    Same issue, I've tried everything to get the game to launch and its not worked. I'm guessing its an EA issue and hopefully they fix it soon. 😒

    Neither can I. It wants me to play my game using origin but that doesn't work either because Origin thinks I have EA running. Very confused and disappointed. I pre-ordered the new pack and I wish I hadn't now. Repairing my game on EA for the second time today. I've been playing all day without mods.

    You can delete GameVersion.txt in your files folder, but you will not be able to open saved games :(
    They are working on it.

    delete the file "gameversion.txt" and your game should work (i had the same issue) BUT when youre in the game you wont be able to play with your existing household and saves because "it was created by a newer version" so yeah.....

    I did this with my favorite save not knowing the outcome, and now I am unable to play it.. :(

    is there any hope that whatever fix EA does will restore my save?
