EA Updates (Sims 4) are queve and grayed

[deblake60]

I have ran Origin as Admin. Tried to uninstall and re-install the client. Rebooted my pc a lot of times. My Sims 4 (Nov 13, 2018) update is shown as being queued and it is grayed out. I have no options to go beyond. The % is always on 0.

I managed to fix it on my own. Here's what I did (based on a different type of game client).

1) When in your Origin > Application Settings > Installs and Saves

2) Go to the "Legacy Game Installers" . Change Folder (BE SURE TO CHANGE IT INTO YOUR PC FIRST) I made one called C:\ORIGIN_DOWNLOADS.

3) Agree to the prompts.

4) Reboot Origin.

5) Downloads should start, if not, select it to begin.

This is working for me, despite the outdated information that I had found online.
