Sims 4 slow to start after update
Hi! So I’m having a major issue. My sims game runs beautifully when I’m finally able to play. But lately I’m having an issue. My game takes 100 years to update on origin and then when I go to play, ...

Thanks I will try this tomorrow. I don’t play in offline mode because I use the gallery all the time and I’m unable to access it when I’m offline. I also don’t care to play in windowed mode- unless you mean only do it temporarily to check CPU. If CPU is at 100% or is very high what do I do to fix that?
I also use Norton 360 anti virus but I prefer not to turn it off. I’ve had bad luck in the past where I’ve gotten viruses easily when it wasn’t working temporarily so I prefer to keep that running when playing. I don’t trust that I won’t get any viruses if it’s turned off in the hours that I play. I’ve heard from others to turn it off. My computer also doesn’t seem to run well with it off.
but thanks for the other advice I will definitely try tomorrow. I’m off to bed now but when I play after work tomorrow night I will try to do this. It seems to be an origin issue more so then the game. Origin updates for my game are always slow and take longer then they should.
@smilelikemiles I was suggesting windowed mode so you could check the Task Manager, not because it would give you better performance. And putting Origin in offline mode is just a test, not a solution; please let me know whether it makes a difference.
As for Norton, I'd like to know whether disabling it helps as well, but here again that's not a fix, only useful information to have. If disabling it helps, we can try changing some of its settings; if it doesn't help, then you can leave it as-is. But it's important to know either way.
So my game was working fine today and I didn’t repair it. I did check CPU but it seems to be averaging between 15-20% so it’s not at 100% so I guess that’s good news?
@smilelikemiles That's more or less what you should be seeing. If you notice another slowdown, please check CPU use again. I'm not totally sure this is the problem, even if it's definitely the main suspect given Origin's behavior over the years. So it'll be useful to confirm or to rul it out, as the case may be.
Ok so I am running my sims now and CPU is at 25-30% and it froze upon starting and once again it took forever to start. I clicked start on origin and the game didn’t pop up for a while. I’m not sure what to do to fix it. Origin seems to be having issues.
