Sims 4 won't update

Origin will not let me play the sims 4 until I update, however every time I click update nothing happens. I've tried completely logging out of origin, I've tried restarting my computer.
The most I get is a pop up that comes up and asks me if I want to allow the update. I click yes and then nothing happens again. So I've got a game that I just bought that I can't even play ☹️
Please help?

  • I have been having this same problem. I have tried every possible solution that I have seen on the forum so far, including uninstalling and reinstalling Origin, restarting the computer, uninstalling Sims 4 (reinstalled from game discs), and running cleaners, but I cannot get the game to update or download Spa Day (I have all the other expansions and packs). This is the pop up window I have been getting: "The download server is not responding." I have reported the issue many times. The latest is under Report ID: 08a492d880022050. Please help! The game will not let me play without this update. I am getting extremely frustrated.

    Thank you!

  • I have the same problem with the update, I bought The Sims 4 a month ago. 

    If you just wanna play without updating the game (if that doesn't bother you), turn off the wifi connection: if it is turned off, Origin can't search for updates, so you can surely play.

    Hope that will work 🤞, have a great day everybody, and enjoy simming! 👍 :eahigh_file:

    Thanks for the suggestion, but that did not work either.

    Any other ideas?

    Thank you!
