Sims 4 stuck on Verifying Game Files
The Sims 4 won't launch without attempting to verify game files, but its currently been verifying them for 6 hours and estimates another 1 hour 30 minutes or so to verify just the base game. Origin is running at 98% CPU utilisation, and every now and then it throws up a dialogue box saying the download has failed or that Origin needs permission to download the files and to click ok when prompted.
Its driving me crazy. I own all the DLC, and all I want to do is play the game.
Any help would be appreciated.
@kidhedera Please quit Origin, clear its cache, and restart your computer.

Then try to repair again, with nothing else running in the background.
