Sims 4 Play Button Grayed Out After Update
Hello! A few nights ago I updated to the latest version of Origin and thereafter updated my Sims 4 game. After the download, there was a notification informing me about something along the lines of "your game needs to be updated" (I can't remember specifically what it said since this was a few days ago). The problem was, I tried to let it "update", but every time I clicked the button, it wouldn't do anything. Finally I decided to exit the notification all together, but now my play button on Sims 4 is grayed out, so I can't play the game at all. I don't really know what to do to fix this issue and I've read through tons of articles, but nothing has helped. I've tried restarting my computer and origin, but neither have fixed the issue. Does anybody know how to fix this?? Thanks!
Then give these a try:
The Play button in Origin is gray
Make sure your game is updated to the newest version (see above). If that is the case and the play button is still gray, try the following things (or any combination of it)
- Restart Origin
- Manually uninstall Origin, run ccleaner, then reinstall
Right click on the Game in Origin and hit Repair Game- Log out and back in
- Delete Origin cache files
