Re: Sims 4 Unable to Start - How to Restart Origin

How exactly do you restart?

I don't understand

What don't you understand ? 

What's your issue ?

When you press exit where is the restart button?

After Exiting Origin as @crinrict described, you double click the Origin Icon on your desktop to start Origin again. You can also find Origin in your start menu and, start it from there.

I did the same, I clicked the exit button and I couldn't see any restart buttons so I am really stuck with this now. I f anyone could help me I would really appreciate that. Thank you.

Just reopen Origin, there is no 'restart' button. @Lillypot1

It just says, "Well that doesn't go as planned, try to restart the client." and thats it ☹️

Have you tried rebooting your computer?

For all Origin issues please post on the Origin forums: http://answers.ea.com/t5/Origin/bd-p/O-2

How do/Where do you find the restart button?

Hi @taylorlj7

there's no button as such. Simply close down Origin completely (Task Bar - Exit) and then start it again.

YOU HELPED ME SO MUCH THANK YOU!

@Chloedaisystreet 

Disable Origin in-game and see if that helps.

I know this isn’t topic but,

Whenever I open up origin and open The Sims 4, it shows up a Startup Error, it says, “Unable to migrate the user data directory to Legacy Edition. The Sims 4 Legacy Edition will continue with new data. Visit help.ea.com for more information.” I went on the website and tried everything they offered and nothing worked. But after I pressed “OK” it then said, “ Unable yo start: The Sims 4 is already running. [ed35e0ea:29f00e76:00000000: 18a1dd51]” Then I pressed “OK”. But after all that happened nothing I did worked, any advice?

Sorry English isn’t my first language 

I've tried restarting it doesnt work
