I had Origin working a few days ago but it wouldn't recognize my Sims 4 base game even though I could play it. I talked to a person from Origin who suggested I uninstall and reinstall Origin and now SURPRISE! it doesn't want to download. It's progress will get to 100% but then nothing else happens. Why can't EA drop Origin? What happened to the days where you can just pop in a disk and it's installed? I have a HP laptop and run on Windows 10.

It seems to have worked for now. Hopefully it will keep working properly when Origin rolls out with another "update". Thanks!
