Now prior to doin any updates, I generally remove saves, cc, mods and update with a clean ea folder to prevent snags and snares. The past two decent sized updates I get a "file corrupted" issue. When this issue happens, the update naturally can't complete and the game then can't load. When I try to repair the game, it begins to repair like normal taking a few seconds per pack to 'repair' or reinstall and then origin starts to lag and suck up 95% cpu , the sims 4 icon "breaks" it becomes likee a broken image at the task bar where the sim 4 plumbob usually is. The repair download virtually slows to an crawl and repairing the game with all packs would take somewhere between 12-18 hours at its pace. I have repaired this game with all packs a great many of times and it doesn't take this long to repair it,I can't say I have timed it before but it couldnt have been 15 minutes max and the origin never lagged or bogged down during install . I end up having to shut origin down , restart the computer run in administrator ,let just the base game "repair" and then by luck the sims 4 icon is back and I finally finish the update. I really can't pinpoint a reason my origin or the game would cause these kinds of problems during updates, but if anyone has had similar experiences with origin it would help if you could point me in a direction of a permanent fix. I have currently cleared my origin cache, run it on administrator , and always follow proper update protocol for a healthy update. Im really at a flustered breaking point, this sucks up nearly an hour of time just for a minor patch that should have been done in 2-3 minutes. I understand this isn't a s4s question, I am literally lookin for hints and tips everywhere on this issue.
