I'm new to orgin and I'm having a similar problem except my games are whited out and it doesn't have the play button available for me at all. I was wondering If you might know what the problem may be. The problem is happening to both the sims 3 and 4. I have a MacBook Air 2020 and I have no idea how to fix it.

@teetee1819 Does your computer run Windows or macOS? For a Mac, the usual recommendation is to disable any proxy you have:
https://www.linksys.com/us/support-article?articleNum=135932
and if that doesn't help, to do a clean uninstall and reinstall of Origin:

For Windows, the first step after clearing Origin's cache would be to uninstall "the hard way" and reinstall:

If that doesn't help, it would be best for you to create your own thread. This one started off as a Mac thread, and I don't do that well with Origin/Windows issues.
