not sure if it’s Origin or maybe just my PC. i tried some fixes from the TS4 forums yesterday but they backfired and actually made it worse. Last night i was able to revert to an earlier save and didn’t encounter any issues so maybe it’s gone now. fingers crossed!

Basically, while you are playing the game, Origin always runs in the background to provide certain services. Like the chat, online notifications of your friends or the Origin Browser. That overlay can be opened with a certain keyboard shortcut if you need it. But sometimes the Origin overlay can cause problems. So if there is an issue with a game after an Origin Update, it is always good to see if the problem still exists when you deactivate the Origin overlay in the game properties.

Origin overlay? What’s that? I’ve missed something somewhere. I haven’t updated yet. I was forced to update the last time because Origin refused to let me log in in offline mode. On the upside I did not have any trouble like other people had. It even fixed my problem with not being able to log into The Gallery in The Sims 4. I have not been able to log into The Gallery for MONTHS and none of The Sims 4 updates had fixed the problem.

yes, my sims, I cleaned up cache and other incidents and that seems to have stopped the resets. So new update, clean slate. all working well. 🙂

If this issue is related to Origin, either setting Origin to offline mode or disabling the Origin overlay while in-game or just doing both at the same time may help.

Your Sims? Do you mean the Sims themselves or the game? If it’s the Sims, it can’t have been this update. It changed nothing in your actual game’s code. If it is the game, can you specify what exactly happens?

I get “The Sims 4 has stopped working” several times daily now. I’ve just learned to save frequently.
