Problem
Origin alerted me of a new patch but after I update, the game just wants to update again like an endless loop.
Cause
Probably some other mess-up in Origin.
This issue now also seems to crop up with every patch and here's a few suggestions you can try. If none of these help, please post in this thread, stating your antivirus software and what you've tried.
Suggestions
Good Luck

Yeah,
I did the same thing too. It kept saying it needs an update. This happened after I bought the new expansion pack-Paranormal. I still can't play the game. It's ridiculous! I have tried everything. EA get your brains together and fix this!

Hi,
Sorry if this has already been asked, I searched and couldn't find a thread. I've woken up today to an update needing doing on my Sims 4 game. I clicked update, origin did it's thing, said game was up to date, but the update button is still there and I can't play!
When I clicked on the desktop icon instead, it said the game needed updating and wouldn't play until it had been done. Went through the whole process again, same thing. I'm not overly technically minded, but this has me stumped. I've restarted my computer, signed out and back in of origin, closed origin and started it again, all with the same results.
TIA

I updated Sims 4 for the 25/2/20 update, the update finalised. It now keeps saying that I still need to update, I click update and it tells me my game is up to date, but then reverts back to "update" instead of "play". Have repeated this process several times. I can play "offline" but not online.
The attached screen shots are all I see, I see picture a, I click update, I see picture b, then back to picture a
