@puzzlezaddict I haven’t been able to do that yet but I just wanted to get on my computer and see if it’ll work again and it did and I didn’t do anything..
I took out some of my mods and I thought I tried it a few days ago and apparently I didn’t because it works when I take one of my mods out. I just updated it too. Maybe it was just bad. I’ve tried exiting and reloading the game about 10 times so far and it works. Maybe that was the problem. But I don’t understand if so then why did the game not work with anything in it.
@mrfuzzlezz It's possible you had two errors, one of which intermittent or solved later, and addressing the mods issue didn't work until the other error was resolved. There are plenty of possibilities, but the important thing is that your game is working now.
- @puzzlezaddict Thank you for the help!
It did it again.. Also when I try to repair sims I get an message. Sims 4 will repair but when it gets to the packs I’ll get a message saying
Your download has been paused. Origin needs to download files and is waiting for permission. Please choose ‘Yes’ when windows prompts you for permission.
Nothing pops up when I press close and the same message will pop up and the packs will load in the background but it says they have been paused.
@mrfuzzlezz Origin is fussy about repairs, and sometimes about downloads, usually for no apparent reason. If the repair goes through, that's what matters. If the repair process is paused, try unpausing it.
Please let me know what, if anything, changed between the most recent time the game worked and now. For example, did you add any files to your Sims 4 user folder, did you reenable or install an antivirus or change its settings, etc.? If you move the Sims 4 folder out of Documents\Electronic Arts, does the game load again?
- @puzzlezaddict It worked again about 40 minutes after my last post. No, I didn’t change anything. I only exit the game and later, when I want to play, try and open sims. I don’t add/remove or change anything.
@mrfuzzlezz The next time the game doesn't work, please try playing while your computer is offline. You can sign into Origin and put it in offline mode, then disable wifi and/or disconnect the ethernet cable before launching the game. Let me know whether it makes a difference.
@puzzlezaddictI just went to play but I went to add a few things of cc and it didn’t work but when I took them out it works..most of the time. I guess as long as I don’t add anything else I may be fine for now. I also have my WiFi off and it didn’t change anything except for origin wouldn’t load.
@mrfuzzlezz The custom content might be broken, or there might be something else going on. (For example, if you happened to have your Sims 4 data on an external drive, the format of that drive might not work well with .package files.) When trying to play offline, you can sign into Origin first, while still online, then disconnect the internet. But if it didn't help, it's a moot point.
