Origin should not have an issue installing unless your computer does not meet the system requirements for origin. I really can't help you more unless you are more clear in what problem you are having exactly. Or is that where you are having the issue? Is the sims 4 not installing, but origin is? If that is the case you may have to look through repairing the sims and somehow get it updated. It should really be that simple and if it is not than maybe it is your computer and not origin? Once origin is installed from the origin site itself you then go through installing the sims 4. You go to the origin site itself and download the latest version offered on the site.
I have windows 10 and origin downloaded for me in 5 seconds tops.
How I install origin or anything EA games related now when buying a new laptop (I just did like 3 days ago lol) or need to reinstall all of the above I always downloaded origin as the very first step before downloading say the sims 4 etc. I don't recall downloading the sims 4 when it first came out or the first tiem I ever installed origin as it was eons ago. I am kind of confused as to how and why you are installing it the way you explained so I may be of little help. A digital download will already be fully patched, instead of your having to wait for the game to install from the disc and then patch via Origin. You can also register your product key instead of having to install via disc, and it might be more efficient, unless your internet is slow. Run Origin as an admin too, at least long enough to see that the game is working. Then download the full Origin installer, and run it as an admin, as in, right-click on the download and select "Run as administrator." This is direct download link: Please use these guides to clearing Origin's cache and uninstalling Origin "the hard way" to clear out all Origin-related files. The issue is likely that the version of Origin on your Sims 4 disc is out of date, so much so that it might not be able to update itself properly.Information and Announcements about EA Play.Information, Guides and Announcements for the EA app.
