    in The Sims 4 General Discussion
    I had messages all morning to quit current gameplay and restart Origin for a critical update. When I went to check it, I noticed my Sims 4 game was updating.

    Anyone else have two updates today?

      I just posted about a sims update as well... Nothing about Origin so far though I had one yesterday(?) I think.

      Yes. Had two updates: one of Origin, one of game.

      Patch notes for todays Sims 4 update are up. One thing they (supposedly) fixed was the stealing :D. You can find the patch notes in the "Announcements" section under "Latest Patch Notes."

      I don't think the stealing fix will free us from the insane sharing is caring nap.

      Probably not. But, at least it won't be quite as bad anymore as I heard sims were stealing quite often without that particular NAP. So, yay for progress? :smiley:

      I like your optimism, but I'm utterly disappointed with this patch.

      Did you get the 3 new options on the menu at the start?

      Got two as you did.. but another one coming tonight..........did you see the note at the top of the Origin page ....EA Play probably replacing it tonight.

      I saw a Tweet from someone who had their trash chute stolen from the San Myshuno apartment lobby. That's going a bit too far, folks...

      I like that this patch also curbs the autonomous knitting; I don't mind if my Sims aren't doing anything else, but not when they've got dinner cooking on the stove! :o

      Typical patch that ignores most the bugs players are reporting :s

      Copy and paste update notes as usual too.

      I didn't get the Origin update, just the Sims 4 one. That said, my Origin launcher stays running most of the time unless I have to restart it. I play other Origin games so it stays on most of the time. Chances are my Origin updated yesterday or the day before and I didn't even notice.

      Since it went live, the launcher won't stay up for me. I click "update", it disappears. I can't even play non-Sims games, because it demands I update Sims 4. If I hit cancel, the launcher crashes. I wish a lifetime of stubbed toes, spoiled milk, and toilets that don't quite flush everything on the people who make these updates mandatory.

      This was sold as a Nifty Knitting patch, I think? We never got a EL patch, they might still work on it...

      I just did an Origin update as per usual [and much more often that I would like], then was told my Sims4 also had to be updated. EVERY time I click to start the update . . the whole thing disappears. I need access to my game as I am in the middle of a creating project and this is the second time I've had the same update glitch. why is this happening . . . anyone????

      Have you tried signing out and completely quitting Origin, closing down your PC or Mac and starting up again? The signing on is different to what it was before and you get 3 options on whether you want to update automatically etc. They shut down Origin and online games completely yesterday and restarted it later.

      I've had this glitch too for the last two patches. I had to reinstall Origin to get it to work.
