Origin going mad

ncisGibbs02

Has anyone had a problem with Origin? I had to change my password and now it’s putting back the packs I left out from the last reinstall two years ago.

I got a voucher and bought Decor to the Max. The lag was awful on loading and I noticed all the stuff and game packs I disabled were back also two packs I left out. I got no download in progress notices though.

I am very nervous of going over to the EA App. Any advice or help would be appreciated.

The Ea App is horrendous

It wants to connect to PS , Xbox and Steam accts you have

Then when you exit the sims game it pops up once more , I have no idea why they changed it but it seems to be to nosey and try and find out all your games and to give it a fancy name , Mine has connected itself to my PS 4 acct and wont let me disconnect it

They definitely need to fix this.

I uninstalled and reinstalled and that seemed to work. I had to put the kit in again like it didn’t remember I’d done that.
Do I need to do that with with every new purchase? 😱 🤷🏼‍♂️🤦🏼‍♂️.

Except for issues with older games at the moment I love the new App. Having no problems with Sims4 on it at all.

Is the EA App opening when you start Steam? I don't want it opening in the background when I play my Steam games.

I haven’t tried the older games yet. I’m going to have to soon. I still loving playing Sims 3.

I'm having no issues with it at this time, either. Sorry, you're going through this. Yikes.

3 is definitely having issues with the new app and even Origin. They are working on. I managed to get it back running on app but some things missing and even some you install soon disappear. Its a bit of a crap shoot I'm afraid. However Sims 2 works fine., Go figure

I am not willing to consent to being forced to having all my game accounts across platforms synced up with each other. I have backed up copies of what I need to make it possible to play without ever letting my laptop go online again if that's what it takes. I'm not above keeping one dedicated machine permanently offline for my sims hobby if that's the only way I can play in peace.

Origin re-installs my packs EVERY single time I click Sims 4 icon BUT it is random whether it installs them all or not, freakin annoying. Oh and half my Sims 3 stuff is missing, expansions, venues, worlds.

The EA app went a bit crazy second to last load, saying it was installing all my packs and I couldn't play. So I exited and tried again and it was back to normal. Gave me a nice fright night for Halloween.

I still have yet to be asked to be changed over to the app. There's a window that keeps coming up now saying "later this year origin will be switching to the EA app" . Um, it's November, there's not much of the year left. Origin seems to be working at the moment so maybe it's happening in December?

I have experienced the game getting stuck on the loading screen and had to restart my computer a few times recently but not sure if that's Origin or my internet connection in general.
