I presume that you get some kind of an error looking like unable to start ... higher version ... update via Origin.
In that case go to the folder My Documents -> Electronic Arts - The Sims 4 (or whatever name in your language).
Delete the file GameVersion.
Then start your game again.

As I said eralier:
Go to Documents -> Electronic Arts -> The Sims 4 and delete the file GameVersion.
Now start your game again.

there is no gameversion file to delete..

Of course there is a file GameVersion.txt
Don't look at the Sims 4 folder in Program Files or weherever you have installed it.

Look at local drive C -> Users -> Your username -> Electronic Arts -> The Sims 4 (or whatever it may be called in your language, like Los Sims 4, Les Sims 4, Die Sims 4 etc.

ok i looked at c -> users -> username and there is no file electronic arts. i unistalled and installed the game a couple times and i have the same problem
