Same here. Played last night with no issues and today I'm getting the same exact pop-ups as you. Going to try the virus thing and any other fixes I find...
Is this part of them switching from the origin app to the EA app?
So I called ea help, and they told me it’s a known issue and are currently trying to resolve. Praying. It shows all my purchases etc. and yes. I’m logged into my account. As I only have one. Fingers crossed.
Same thing happened to me today. I had already played for a couple hours, turned it off to do some other stuff, then tried to turn it back on later and Origin is telling me to download it again, but it won't download no matter how many "fixes" I try.
This is SO BAD. Like c'mon EA please fix this.
I switched to the EA app last night and finally managed to download the sims 4 through that. My game is running again and I didn't lose any save files so maybe try switching to the new EA app?
That was the best solution for me; of course I would still like EA to fix this problem (don't know how they couldn't determine this would happen so a bunch of players didn't have to suddenly lose their ability to play...)
Yes, I actually had to delete and download the EA App again for this to work, since it gave me an error message the entire time I tried to launch it. Happy to report that my game works fine after switching to the EA app. Sorry for the late reply! 🙂
@Fesja Thanks for letting us know. There was actually a brief issue with downloading Sims 4 that affected a number of people, but it's since been resolved. I don't know whether you were seeing the same issue or the timing was a coincidence, but the important thing is it's resolved for you.
Since this became something of a collection thread for that particular downloading issue, which is now resolved, I'll lock the thread here. For anyone else having download issues, please create your own thread.
