    Thanks for the posts everyone. We're seeing a lot of these come in within the last few minutes, we are investigating. 


    Edit: Can you check again? Some users are reporting that the issue is resolved. 


    Thanks!

    This is a quite ridiculous issue to have, customers having sunk money into a game only for it to not work properly. I've had this game since launch, and took a 'break' from it for a while, only to discover I get the same error message as these others.  Forgive the irritation, but if I pay money, I expect a game to work. No system changes should affect that.

  • the same here!!! not happy at all, downloaded W10 now its not working or connecting

    Hey guys, I just got mine to work (I'm on a Mac). I closed Origin, and launched Sims 4 from the Applications folder. It opened up Origin as well, but the game started with no errors. Hope this will work for you too!

    Hmmm will try that but probably tomorrow as It's already night time here and I was too frustrated trying to make it work for almost half a day. But thank you very much for the suggestion 🙂
  • Definitely still not working! I just bought the game and can not even open it. Completely frustrating

  • I just downloaded the new kitchen stuff pack and origin won't let me get on to play the game? it says i need to verify sims 4 purchase through them and that origin is offline and can not verify my copy of the sims 4? i am very confused and was wondering if they were doing maintenance or if this was a bug created from the new kitchen stuff pack. if o please anyone help me out .. i really would like to play this game !

    i have windows 10 operating system .. is this game compatible with windows 10 ? i had windows 8.1 but recently upgraded .. so i went over to my other lab top which has windows 8 still and it says the same message on that computer.. so i can not be due to windows 10

    I also checked origin's maintenance page and it says everything is green and online. they are not currently doing maintenance!! help i want to play my new kitchen stuff pack!!

    origin needs to update their maintenance  and server status page to down for maintenance.

    Also i should not have to find the bin file to open my game

    Hi! I'm still having issues with connection. I have the latest patch and all eps & sp that were released. I'm win Windows 8. I never had an issue with this since i bought the game, but since last week two things happen. The gallery refuses to connect, or connects and after some minutes it shuts off.

    The issue fixes itself when i close and re open the game, but minutes later, shuts off again. i don't know what to do.
