Origin only shows grey boxes

[ Edited ]

Hello there!! I've had the following problem for 2 days now. I load origin, I log in and after that it only shows grey boxes where the games should be. I looked for a solution on here and I've tried everything ( hard uninstall, clearing the cache, spamming ctrl+ R ) but nothing works. I bought the latest Sims gamepack (island living) and when I went to open the app to download it it updated and has been doing that ever since. I am extremely annoyed that I can't play my game. I have (like so many others) given so much money to this company only to not be able to use what I paid for because of their stupid app. It was better when that thing wasn't involved. However, since it is, if anyone could help me fix this thing I would be grateful. And thanks in advance for any and all advice.

You aren’t alone. I’ve been having the same problem off and on for quite some time. The only thing that I have found to work is make sure your adobe flash player is up to date. I have mine up to date and it’s still fighting me. Origin worked for me on Monday so I preordered island living and haven’t been able to play either or even download it. I’ve made sure origin wasn’t in compatibility mode. I’ve tried reinstalling origin twice and I tried clearing the cache like one of the other threads on the forum said to do. All to no avail. I don’t see any fixes thus far. If anyone has any info on this issue, please help us.

Update... origin is still the same but I was able to get the sims 4 to open regardless of that. If you pin the sims 4  to your main screen and select it from there as long as nothing is trying to download in origin it will open and be playable!!!
