Hi, I do apologise if this isn't the place for my question I'm incredibly new and very confused about my game issues.
I went to open my game this morning and nothing happened, l clicked on the desktop icon several times and it acted like I hadn't clicked on it at all. A few minutes later an Origin window popped up telling me I had to update Sims 4 before I could play it. So I said okay and let Origin do its thing and and once the update was done (or at least said 'Calculating' after the bar filled up) I tried to load my game. Same thing, acted like I never clicked on the icon. I can't right click it to open it either it just doesn't work. And now Origin's desktop application won't open up either so I can't do the normal troubleshooting of disabling Origin in game or anything. I've restarted my computer several times and shut it down completely, no dice.
I haven't done anything to my computer so it's not like there's some weird change that is throwing the programme off. I played fine last night, no problems and now this. I haven't been playing very long, just a few weeks, so it's not like I'm gonna lose a ton of progress if for some reason I can't get back to my Sims but this is just really frustrating!
Thank you so much if you can help me out!
