Re: The Sims 4 gb issue

@soICYlucy  When installing, Origin often temporarily uses double the storage that the game itself needs: the files are downloaded and then installed before the download itself gets deleted.  So if you want to install the Sims 4 base game, you might need 34 GB free (plus a little extra for overhead) rather than 17 GB.

Try clearing Origin's cache, which will clear out the downloaded files:

If that doesn't help, please run a dxdiag and attach it to a post.

And let me know how much Sims 4 content is currently installed as well, as in, nothing, only the base game, or one or more packs.
