Getting Origin to work. by Nick Olson on Saturday July 22nd 2017, 21:12

If you are having problems installing Origin, or can't connect to EA servers, you can follow the instructions posted by Luca Weiss: 

Download www.dm.origin.com/download/legacy (legacy OriginThinSetup.exe). 
Create a fresh wineprefix (32-bit). 
Run the installer and leave the default options. 
When Origin launches it will tell you that "Your update could not be completed.". 
Download origin-a.akamaihd.net/Origin-Client-Download/origin/live/OriginUpdate_9_12_0_34172.zip and put the contents into your_wine_prefix/drive_c/Program\ Files/Origin/ , so that that folder contains a Origin.exe file. 
You can then start this Origin.exe and log in.

After this you should be able to install Sims 4 without any problems.
