My game keeps crashing since the patch

I got that permissions notice too when I downloaded the patch, and it kept setting off my anti-virus with a notification that Sims464bit.exe was engaging in suspicious behavior. That has never happened to me before. I thought it was just my Norton anti-virus acting up because my computer has been painfully slow an I have had a lot more lag in my game ever since I switched to it in September. Also, after the patch it wouldn’t let me save builds to my library or the gallery at all.

So I uninstalled Norton and am just using Windows Defender for now until I can re-install PCMatic later today. After I took Norton off I didn’t notice any real issues, but have to admit I won’t get a lot of time to play until this afternoon.

I have seen other people on here and on Twitter post that the patch tripped their antivirus too, which seems weird.

ETA: I have seen several people post that 3X speed seems to be at least one trigger for crashing.

It's really weird that the update triggers the antivirus, the update must be modifying the game so that Norton thinks the update is a trojan.

You should be able to add the sims4 64bit.exe as an exception so you don't have to take your antivirus offline or uninstall it.

Maxis, I recommend that you report to Norton that this update is a false positive. People should not have to add their game as an exception or disable their antivirus.
