Cannot update! Can’t get into game on iPad...

★★ Novice

Hi,

 

Since yesterday my game gets as far as the first view of my sims house then immediately asks me to update.

 

I click through to the App Store and there is no option to update, only open the game.

 

I’ve uninstalled the game twice, restarted my iPad, pulled down the update tab in the App Store but the Sims never comes up as an available update.

 

Please Help!!!!

 

Thank you 😊🙏

I actually had the exact same issue once. A new update was released shortly after the one I couldn't install for some reason and I was able to download that.
You could try googling a link for the latest update for the sims mobile and see if that helps. Otherwise, sadly your next best option is contacting EA.

 

Or idk does this work?

 I’m having the same issue. After not being able to give stickers, I got in touch with the EA support and they asked me to do the troubleshooting steps. I have done it 4 times and nothing. Now I can’t even open the game, cause it is stuck on that screen asking for an update but giving me no option at the App Store.

You can do so through The Sims Mobile app. Open the side menu, choose the gear icon, then the button with 'Help'.
This will open your browser, scroll down until you see 'Contact Us' and choose 'Technical Support'.
