Hi :3 

 

There are a couple of things you can try: 

 

 ⤷ Run Origin with Admin Rights 

     Right Click on Origin

     Click on Compatibility (top menu) 

     Down below, check the "Run this program as an administrator


 ⤷ Make sure your Antivirus and/or Firewall are not blocking it

 (if you have recently updated Origin, then the permissions might've been reset)

    ⤷ Firewall, guide: https://www.computerhope.com/issues/ch001324.htm

     Antivirus, guide: https://appuals.com/how-to-add-steam-as-an-exception-to-your-antivirus-or-firewall-software/

 

After these, please let us know if you still have an issue with that ^_^.

Have a lovely day! Cat

           You'll need to add exceptions for Origin and Sims in case they haven't been added automatically. 

 

If this doesn't work, do let us know.

You need to be 16+ when registering an account with Origin.
If, when creating this account, you entered the age below 16 you will not have access to the Gallery.
If your entered age is OK please clean Origin cache

 https://help.ea.com/en-us/help/faq/clear-cache-to-fix-problems-with-your-games/


or
Uninstall the Origin Manually. See instructions here.
https://help.ea.com/en/help/origin/origin/manually-uninstalling-origin/
and install Origin again
http://origin.com/download

It is also possible that your connection configuration with Gallery is damaged in your game folder. In that case, you should do a factory reset of the game folder

.
Go to Documents/ElectronicArts - inside will be The Sims4 folder
Step 1. Rename The Sims4 folder to "The Sims4 old"
Step 2. Fix the game in Origin

Origin/Library - right click on TS4 - option "Repair game"
You have to wait until Origin will fix all packs, not only the base game.
Step 3. Turn on the game - a new game folder will be created and you will have two - one old, one new
Step 4. Check if you still have this problem in the newly created game folder
If the problem disappeared
Step 5. Delete in the new game folder following folders:
"saves" and Tray.
Step 6. Go to "The Sims 4 old" folder and copy - your "saves " folder.
Step. 7, Paste this folder in a newly created game folder.
Step 8. Do the same with Tray folder
Step. 9 If all is OK - delete The Sims4 old folder. Now you will have only one game folder which is working properly.

I understand that you have already checked if your antivirus or Windows Defender isn't blocking this.
You can also try to restart your router - there may also be a problem.
Well, if it will not working for you, now you should do the factory reset of the game folder as I wrote above. You will lose nothing - neither your saves of the game nor your library.
You will lose only the time you spend on it.
