Hi,
When I load up Sims 4, origin says I am online and I can play Sims. However, when I try to open the gallery or access a pack it says 'connection required'. So I press 'connect', but then it says 'unable to connect'. I don't understand cause I have Wi-Fi and Origin says I am online.
Please can someone help me fix this. I have no idea what the problem is!
Thanks.

Hi @markasuttle,
Thanks for providing that information. That error message 'unable to connect' usually points to connectivity issues. It sounds like you may be having issues with your connection @markasuttle.

We found that they've helped some other members who've encountered this error message in the past. The steps will take you a couple of minutes to do them all but please do give them all a go.
Let me know how you get on.

I believe any people are having this issue since the last update. It has nothing to do with internet connection since were all connected and origin is showing as online when outside of the game.
