Re: Sims won't open

@JazzieThuqqinz  Try clearing Origin's cache and uninstalling it "the hard way."

Download the full installer, not the usual ThinSetup, and run it as an admin.  Once it's installed, run Origin as an admin as well.  This is a direct download link:

 

http://download.dm.origin.com/origin/live/OriginSetup.exe

 

If you still get that "Origin is offline" message, try using your phone as a mobile hotspot.  Make sure it's using data, not your home wifi.  You don't need to download the game using your data; just test to see whether you still get that offline message.
