Sims 4 won't install
Installing of the sims 4 is not working. I have a paid copy with expansions that i've played without issues over the years. It does not give me an error code, just suggests i try later. EA, origin a...
@Shortono I understand there's no error code, but I was asking about an error message. There are a few common EA App error messages that don't all mean the same thing.
The Steam issue has its own master thread now:
As you can see, a number of games are affected, and EA is looking into the issue.
I can't reproduce it now, so sorry that I cannot add the error message. After my last attempts the install seemed to go through but was not downloading anything.
I cancelled it all, started to install through steam, stopped the download and turned off my machine. After about 12 hours I turned it on again, tried to install though the EA app (which worked, with the steam install being at about 80% or so) and I quickly uninstalled the steam version.
Now the game works, but I don't know what solved the issue, my apologies to people reading this later.
@Shortono The Steam error seems to have been resolved, and the EA App error may have been as well, although there were fewer reports so I'm not entirely sure. At any rate, the important thing is that your game works. And there's no need to apologize; the error message would have been for the purpose of helping you, and you don't need that help now.
