Re: Sims 4 - Initialization error at startup

@Leaderform

The suggested things to do are:

1. Repair Game:
In Origin > Games Library, right-click on Sims 4 and select Repair.

2. Start game as Administrator:
Right-click on Origin and select Run as Administrator

3. Run the Game in Compatibility mode:
Right-click on Origin, select Properties > Compatibility tab, check mark Run this program in compatibility mode for: Choose one Windows 8 or 7 from the drop down list. Or Run the Compatibility troubleshooter. Click okay when finished.

4. If the above doesn't work, try uninstalling Origin, run Ccleaner, restart the computer and install Origin again.

 * This will not hurt Sims 4 folder and it's files. Origin and Sims 4 are installed in different folders. However, if you'd like, copy the Sims 4 folder to a USB key for safe keeping.

    Hi @tahlsjane99,

    Thank you for trying the advice shared in this thread. It might not be as relevant for you as it would have been when it was shared two years ago. It might be better to open a new thread and expand on what your experiencing as well as what steps you've already tried to get the ball rolling. I'll lock this thread in the meantime.

    Thank you,
