Sims 4 won't play or update on Origin [MAC]
by Finch3073Original Post
I cannot play the Sims 4 at all 
Recently Origin automatically updated and since then I have not been able to click play on my Sims 4 game. The play button is greyed out so I can't click it at all. When I hover over the Sims 4 icon it comes up with an option to update, but when I click update now it doesn't work.
So I read some other threads and found that it was suggested that I uninstall Origin and re-install it. So I did this and now it appears that it is trying to update but frozen or something? There is an orange bar in the top right hand corner that is probably a quarter of the way progressed but doesn't seem to be moving! When I click update now, it still is not working! And i STILL can't click play!
What can I do!

Okay I've tried that but now it comes up with an install button and when i click install it says installing than installation complete, but the install button remains and does not come up with a play button
it just lets me keep installing it over and over
Urgh, how annoying. Have you tried launching the game from within your Applications folder rather than Origin?
Can you try the reset Origin tool too - http://help.ea.com/uk/article/how-to-reset-origin-on-mac/
