Okay, it seems some of you need a bit of a tutorial on the new Origin after today's update. Here you go.
When you launch and log in, Origin looks different. Here's were to click for what.
Here is how to access different thing related to your game.
And when you choose GAME PROPERTIES, here is how to work with those, especially getting it back to the 64 bit launch option.
UPDATE The Scaling/Oversize issue has been addressed in the new Origin Beta client. Here's how to get it:
Click on the Origin menu (the word ORIGIN at the top of the application), and select Application Settings.
Turn on the "Participate in Origin client betas" switch.
Restart Origin and allow it to update.
Beta Installer if you are unable to install Origin 10 due to oversized widow:

Legacy Installer for Windows XP and Vista ONLY. Some features will remain unavailable but, this will allow you to play, download and update your games. Chat, the store and some other things will not be available in this Origin but, you can purchase games form the website then, use this to download and play.

Life is what you make it so, make it good.

I'll try closing and reopening Origin and see if that works.

EDIT AGAIN: I got a message that all my packs were re-downloading, and when I went into game got "Game Data Incomplete" -- how the plum do I know when I can play my game?

I don't like the way it states that I have no friends though. I always feel that it is an unsafe way of chatting - too near to one's account details!
Are you on a Mac? On a PC, I'm not seeing a country flag anywhere. (Though I will note that my regional settings under EA Account and Billing - which opened in a browser - were unchanged)

My personal settings have the uk entered though.
Anyone know why Sims 4 isn't as boldly coloured in the games library? I notice in the picture above that TS4 looks like mine does, yet my Sims 3 is bold, and I'm not touching that as I'm not allowing it to update.
Also, I can't remember if it's best to play without the origin box checked I'm sure I played off line before.
Just found I have to scroll down to see the other bits, I hate the size of it.
Hello
If you can still play the game, the faded picture will not cause issues. You don't need to reinstall the game. Press the sims 4 picture, and the sims 4 screen, settings button and extra content tab etc will appear, and you can press play there.

Hello
There should be a buy now button in the ' extra content" tab if you don't own the packs. The extra content is underneath the sims 4 picture section where you can press play to launch the game. If it is not there, log out of origin , then log back in and see if that helps to make the button appear.
If you are still having issues, you can go to the Origin store site and buy the packs there. You can add them to your shopping cart there.

There is a special offer at the moment that by typing in the code ORIGIN50 you get 50% off the price.

Yeay, I found it and it did it. Thank you! And yes, that offer is just too good to be ignored, so I thought I had to buy something. So I just purchased Backyard and Perfect Patio. So excited!
It is great that you have purchased the two stuff packs! That is exciting! You will enjoy having the stuff pack items in your game. The discount offer is great!

Note my screenshots at the top. TS4 is faded, that's okay, it's just a graphical thing with that cover art. The game will ask to update when you launch it, if it needs to update.
That's good to know. I've just updated on my win 8.1 laptop and TS4 is faded there too. I was worried at first.
Also, the size of the Origin interface on my win 8.1 is a normal size, but on my win 10 it's massive and fills the whole screen and I can't minimize it. I lowered the zoom thing-o and hasn't made a whole lot of difference. Will just have to get used to it I s'pose!
Hello

Thanks rose, I'll check that display setting when I get home from work. On this laptop (win 8.1) it's set at 1. Haven't ever really looked at that on the win 10 one.
You're welcome I hope that your work day goes well.
