#Origin sims 4 stuck on preparing installation how to#
If you are having that issue there are other threads dealing with that and you should look those up as someone made an open source patch.Įrror Report ID (learn how to create an Error Report ID in the sticky post) My last issue was that it wouldn't load the game after I clicked play in the menu, that was because of my CPU. This was also just my experience and I only had problems with 1 dlc so I can't say this will work for more than one. If trying this I would download all the packs that you can't download in the origin app and then go back to the EA app and download everything else. I do not know if me creating a separate folder has anything to do with the downloads, I usually just create a folder in the EA app spot. I do create a folder every time I download a game and the normal download spot for origin games is in the origin folder. I then closed out of origin completely and went back to the EA app and downloaded all the other dlc with no further problems with download. So I tried something that couldn't be done unless I had access to origin, I downloaded only the sims 3 and the pets dlc through origin. This resulted in exactly the same as before except I could pause and unpause the download which allowed me to get to 45% and it would not go any higher. Now I tried just downloading the sims 3 on EA and then closing out completely and going into origin and downloading the pets dlc.

Follow exactly as he does and it should work perfectly, just don't do anything in origin except download your games/dlc because it can cause a pop up to install EA and makes origin useless so you'll have to uninstall and redo all the steps again to bypass the pop up. It's a step by step video so I won't include that here to save space. I put the link for the video as I found it easy to understand but I also put the link for the thread if someone wants to look at it, it should be the first reply. In the thread there is a link to a video ( ) or text.

I could get origin to start the pets dlc download but it wouldn't finish.Īfter way too many hours or the origin method, I looked for a different thread and found a reddit thread ( ) that was similar except it showed a way to bypass the EA message that pops up on origin, allowing me full access to origin to download what I needed. I tried the method in this thread a couple more times and a few different ways including downloading only the sims 3 and the pets dlc. So I decided to uninstall everything I had from EA: sims 4, what I could install of the sims 3, the EA app, and the origin app (if you decide to do this make sure to make backups of your town saves if you want to keep them.) I restarted my computer and then reinstalled both the EA app and the origin app. It was also verifying my sims 4 game and dlc every time I opened origin. The very first thing I did after I tried downloading origin and it wouldn't auto install my pets dlc was I went in and cleared the cache of origin and then loaded it back up and this time it did start downloading my pets dlc (look up clearing origin cache if you need help.) The issue that I then experienced was it only going to 21% with a download of 0mb/sec and I couldn't access the origin app to fix this.

I have an ssd and a hhd in my computer, I save my files to my hhd so I sometimes had to create a folder as it set my ssd as the main download.I used this thread, a reddit thread similar to this one, and another EA thread to help with my game loading issue.I'm here to share what I had to do but will first list some things that might be important. I finally got it to work and it plays just fine. I contacted EA support and they said THEY KNOW about the issue and are working on it but from what I've seen people have been dealing with This shit for MONTHS?!?! Anyone who plays sims knows there are just certain packs you don't play with so this shit is pissing me off.So I was having lots of problems getting my Sims 3 Pets to download. I even tried redownloading origin but of course, you can't get past the stupid "download EA" window.

Please someone for the love of god help me with this, I already tried uninstalling and reinstalling this damn app however many times, clearing the app's cache data, and running the ea app as an administrator.
