OK ALL YOU NEED TO DO IS OPEN TASK MANAGER, RIGHT CLICK ON WINDOWS BAR AT BOTTOM SELECT TASK MANAGER AND SCROLL DOWN TILL YOU FIND SIMS 4, THEN RIGHT CLICK AND PRESS END PROCESS.... THEN RUN ORIGIN AS NORMAL RIGHT CLICK ON SIMS 4 AND PRESS UPDATE, IT WILL UPDATE AS NORMAL AND WILL WORK FINE, 

WHAT HAPPENS IS THT IT WILL NOT UPDATE AS THE GAME IS RUNNING IN BACKGROUND, HOPE IT HELPS YO ALL
