Hello! I recently registered my Sims Medieval to my origin account, and I kept getting a 'GAME UPDATE ERROR: There was a problem while updating your game. One or more files that requires an update may be in use. If the issue persists please restart your computer and resume the update.' whenever I try to update. Trying to play without update leads to a beige screen that just says the "I have timed out".
After some digging, I attempted to troubleshoot using this; https://answers.ea.com/t5/Other-The-Sims-Games/The-Sims-Medieval-Troubleshooting-FAQ/td-p/2556704#3
but whenever I get to step 11, there is no Sims Medieval icon, only a readme.txt and a Sims Medieval uninstaller (both of which do nothing).
Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks!
