Hello @KHerr111

 

You need to uninstall Sims 4 complete and then Restart your Pc .

 

After that please clear the Origin cache here are the steps...
# login in Origin first. 

#click on “Origin” at the top left of origin window and select “Application Settings”.
# in settings window, click on “Advance” button from left side. 
#then you will see there “Delete all game Installer” button. Click on it. 
#click on “Yes” then click on “Close”.

 

-updating your Origin client...to the latest Beta version /top left Origin menu, Application Settings - General..
- make sure you are the administrator, run the setup file Origin with Admin rights restart Origin.

 

Now download the  game only, by going to My Games Tab.

 

All my best.
