Re: The Sims 4 wont start

Hi;

This error usually is the result of a Windows 10 user profile not having sufficient permissions to access game files. Try the following first:

1: Right-Click Origin or the Sims 4 icon on your desktop, select Run as Administrator. (You may receive a message asking for permission; if you do, accept.)

2: If you get a prompt for an Admin Password or something of the like, you may have to consult with another user of that computer that might be the Windows Administrator.

If you're the only user on the computer, try adjusting your user permissions in Windows, or creating a new Windows User to test if you can access the game via the new user profile.
