Hi @chocckola
First go to C / Program Files (x86) / Origin Games
Once you are in the Origin folder go into your Sims 4 Folder / _Installer /DirectX / redist
Once you are in this folder you will notice a bunch of .rar's.
Delete ALL of the .rar files OUT of the redist folder.
DO NOT DELETE: DSETUP.dll, dsetup32.dll, or DXSETUP.exe
Once the redist folder only has those 3 files that you DIDN'T delete are left, go back into Origin and hit the "Ready to Install" button again and i think you should by fine.🙂
If your issue persist follow this steps 🤔
Ensure that your Firewall and/or Antivirus are not blocking the connection.The easiest way would be adding an exception for the Origin Client.
