how do i reinstall sims 4 on the new origin update?

★★★ Newbie

I have recently had to factory reset my computer when I redownloaded origin the update was effective. Obviously sims 4 is no longer installed. In the past this has been a matter of clicking on the game and reinstalling but now that option doesn't seem to be there it just says details and nothing else. Please help me to be able to play this game.

Hi @silly221

 

You should be able to Download your game following these steps:

  1. Open Origin and log in with the account in which you have your game.
  2. Go to Game Library
  3. Click on The Sims 4
  4. You will get information about the game, and you should see an orange button with the "Download" option. Click on it.

Now you just need to wait for Origin to download and install your game. Standard smile

So, my Sims 4 wouldn't open and I uninstalled. AngryNow when I go back to reinstall, instead of having a "install" message on the orange button, it says "play on origin" on their website

 

This might be because I got rid of my desktop icon, but when I go into the menu on the bottom left corner (windows 10) and go through my apps then click on Origin, it won't open at all Devilso I just opened it on Google and went to their website.

 

I love playing sims 4, so I just want my game to come back.

I've been having the same problem. I've been wanting to play sims 4 for 2 days now. But when I click on sims, it brings me to origin, not the game, and not even my home. When i go to origin, it doesn't go to home. I tried logging in online, and it says I don't have the game, and I have to buy it again.

I tried uninstalling sims, and uninstalling origin, nothing is working. I don't know what to do. 

I just want to play my game again, I paid a lot of money for it.

Do you not see My Game Library listed in the left-hand side of you Origin window above notifications as shown in the image below @tsportiello?

Let me know if your Origin is missing it.
