You Must Be Online When Logging In For The First Time
I recently purchased the Sims 4, and in order to install it I have to either install Origin (which I already have on my computer) or log in to it. When I open the log in page, it says, "Online login is currently unavailable." If I type my log in info, it says, "You must be online when logging in for the first time." I've looked in maybe a dozen different places and found no solution. My network connection seems to be working fine, although I've been getting some SSL connection errors for whatever reason. Every firewall and antivirus program is doing what it should be as far as I know. I can't install the new Origin update like someone suggested because in order to install it I have to be able to log in to Origin first. It seems to me that Origin may be having its own problems and it may be causing an error for a lot of people. I haven't found anyone who has solved this specific issue.
