Packs Downloading even when told not to
Hello! I went and tried to redownload the Sims 4 Basegame after a little hiatus and every time I start the game, all of the packs I own (all of them up 'til lovestruck plus a few later) start to download. I have a laptop I'm using to game right now and i don't have the room for all my packs after my previous gaming laptop died. I have turned off Auto updates, I have deleted the que, I've checked all my setting for some sort of reason for everything downloading, but I've come upon a blank. Every time I start to play, packs download even with the "pause download during gameplay" setting turned on. I'm starting to get quite irritated. Is it possible the latest curving stair update messed with some sort of setting?

"Origin is not installed and is required to play your game"
I'm not sure if this sent because of bad internet, so I'll do it again. I tried to install an expansion pack for the Sims 4 with a cd from a physical expansion pack from Walmart, but it's a couple of years old, and it says that it requires Origin to continue setup. I canceled the installation and took the disc out and decided to play the game as is, but it now says that I need to download Origin to continue. Origin doesn't exist anymore, so I'm not sure on what to do. I uninstalled the game entirely and then reinstalled it, but it's giving me the same error. What do I do?I can't select a lot
I'm trying to start a new game without an existing character, but when I try to create a Sim and select a lot, all the lots have exclamation marks on them and I can't select them. I've removed all the CCs in the Mods folder, but it's the same. I heard that it could be become when I have For Rent Pack but I don't have it.

Open's the splash page, can press Play Game and second splash page with Skate title appears. Then goes to black when trying to load the game. Won't even load into the main start screen. I've tried everything from reinstalling, rebuilding the database, clearing cache, and factory reset. Still won't load into the game. Please help!!Did EA stop adding new graphics cards to GraphicsCards.sgr?
Hi, I upgraded my graphics card to RTX 5060 Ti 16GB. When I launched Sims 4, I've got the message about unsupported graphics card. I said "OK, I guess this card is too new to be recognised by the game yet" and decided to add it. So, I located GraphicsCards.sgr, copied it to ConfigOverride folder in My Documents and opened it. What I've found inside was shocking. The latest Nvidia graphics card added was RTX 4080 and latest AMD card added was RX 6700 XT. RTX 4080, the latest card on this list, was released in November 2022, so, over two and a half year ago. And since then, no new card was added? Seriously EA? To make sure I don't have some older version of the file on my PC, I went through repairing the game files in EA App. But still, no change. Obviously, EA stopped adding new cards and I have to wonder why. Anyway, I added my card to the list and now everything works without issues. But still, EA should be adding new cards to the list with updates, as this is causing troubles for less tech savvy Simmers, who, after graphics card, or computer update will get this message and may even panic that there is something wrong with their new configuration. And that's not good.
Moving sims mods back onto C from D
I’ve had such a nightmare with trying to transfer my mods and cc over to my external hard drive. I feel like I need to start again and move my files back onto my laptop to do this and to have a through clear out of cc I don’t use or like anymore. Does anyone know how to move these files back onto your computer from the hard drive? Is it the same way as putting the files on the external hard drive? I just want to play again!
