I have real fast internet too - and can reinstall the game , all eps, gps and sps in less than a half hour. My base was a disk too, but once it was installed you no longer use the disk as it has to install from the disk as well as from Origin so it could be slow without fast internet. But I have Metrocast 150 - Just like I downloaded and installed the newest gp recently and it took less then 2 minutes.

Hi! I recently got a new computer and I'm reinstalling all my games onto it. I have every dlc and it's taking a little bit longer than expected for it all the finish. Am I able to play the game, whats installed, without interfering with the rest of it installing?
Hello
It would be best to wait until all the packs have installed, then start playing the game then.
Congratulations on your new computer! Happy simming on it!

first time installing it it took 48 hours to download. i'm downloading it on a new laptop that i haven't downloaded anything else on at all. been about two hours now and it is at 5%, so it'll be around the 2 day mark again. oh boy i do so love my internet provider.
Depends how close the PC is to the router or hub for wi fi. I always move my fully charged laptop close for that when downloading (especially Windows 10 updates) as the hub is in a different room. I'm supposed to get 100 MPS fibre optic (inner city) but usually get about 56 and it only takes a few minutes.
I've got a 12 metre ethernet cable just in case wi fi fails and it did come in handy with Windows 10 wi fi driver fails last year.
I bought it last night and it said it would take around 7 hours to install, but I wasn't surprised because I live in a rural and have horrible internet. 2 hours later it was around 37%. I paused the download so I could go to sleep and woke up at around 9:30, started the download again, and it's now on 81%. I don't think it'll actually take 7 hours, though. But I'm really excited to play the game for the first time

Hello @enchiladad

Hello
It is great that you are having lots of fun playing the game. It would be enjoyable playing the game yourself after watching many YouTube videos about it. Happy sims 4 simming!
The download is horrible, (that's what it is currently doing) and I think I have fairly good internet speed however i'm not sure how to check it, (I such at technology) but mine doesn't say what percent it's on? It's just said finalising for the past hour and a half :neutral: ! Is this normal? Or should I start again?!

Hello @xXCookie_WolfXx
Try logging out of origin. Then log back in again and see if that helps with the issue.

I had to install sims 4 again recently, but this time on gaming pc. It took a bit longer than on Macbook pro.
Waiting for all packs to go on console.

Hello @Skahtala
It shouldn’t be taking as long as that. Is the percentage still increasing or has it stopped moving ?
