The game is detected as malware.

Hey!!

After the latest The Sims 4 update, Windows 11 Smart App Control blocks the official file C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\The Sims 4\Game\Bin\TS4_Launcher_x64.exe as malware.

I have no mods installed. Steam has verified all game files successfully. I repaired and reinstalled the EA App, but the game still won't launch because Smart App Control blocks the launcher.
