Uninstall any antivirus software you use except that you got with your system. Then fix the game on Origin again and try to start the game from Origin and not from the desktop icon.
If the game starts you can install this antivirus again although if you have Windows Defender you don't really need it
However, you have to add the game and Origin to the exceptions there. Add the following files to the exceptions
1, Origin.exe - in Win10 it is sometimes only called Origin without the exe end, but it is the same file.
2. OriginClient.Service.exe
3. TS4.exe or it will be just TS4 without "exe"
4. TS4_x64.exe
All these files are located in the Program Files (x86) folder
However, while Origin is easy to find, you must know the path to the game files
Origin games> The Sims4> game (you can find this folder under g)> Bin and Bin_LE
In each Bin folder, there is one file with the initial name TS4 and each one must be added to the exceptions
I don't work for EA- 5 years ago
Many thanks to your kind reply🙂
Ive tried as soon as I see your suggestions, but every time I try to repair in origin, my origin will crack when the process comes nearly to the end. Ive tried four times since yesterday, and i am wondering if theres anything I can do to prevent it
