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, ...

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.
@smilelikemiles Is this with Norton running or not? I still wonder if that's the issue, even though it shouldn't be.
Another thing you can try is playing in a new admin Windows account. Make it a local account, as in, don't sign into Microsoft, and don't sync with any other services you normally use. You'll be able to sign into Origin and won't need to redownload anything, but your saves and other content won't be available. That's fine; this is just a test. Let me know whether the game runs slowly again.
With it running but my computer runs slow and has issues when its off so therefore the game couldn't be played without.
I think its an origin issue. Just got a "login unavailable" notification from them. Was able to sign in but once again game is not loading. I am also not sure how to do any of the above you just suggested.
@smilelikemiles Creating a new Windows account is simple, but if you need a comprehensive guide, there are plenty of written and video tutorials out there. Just google it and pick a guide that looks good to you.
Thanks! Lately I think origin just has issues at start up. If I force close the game then restart the game, it launches normally. Idk why it doesn’t for the initial start up
@smilelikemiles Origin has always had its issues, and often enough it's been difficult to figure out what's actually going on. That's not to say I don't want to keep helping, just that you may have a better workaround than anything I could offer.
If things change, for better or for worse, please let me know.
