Sims 4 Update loop

EA App requests update for Sims 4. Despite updating repeatedly, restarting, reinstalling, running as admin, and repairing. Still asks for update and will now let me play the game.

I found a fix!
In the EA app, go to the three lines in the top left corner and press offline mode. After going into offline mode, go back into online mode and then update. That fixed it.

@MisterSnuffles and @hellochelsikins Please clear the EA App's cache:

https://help.ea.com/en-us/help/faq/clear-cache-to-fix-problems-with-your-games/

and restart your computer.

If that doesn't help, try forcing the App to update. Open this location:

C:\Program Files\Electronic Arts\EA Desktop\EADesktop

And run the EAUpdater. Once it's done, restart again and see whether the Sims 4 update goes through.
