Re: Game failing to launch. Windows flagging TS4_Launcher_x64.exe as Trojan

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.

    I have the same problem

    Find :

    Hey there, we're aware of a digital signature issue preventing The Sims 4 from launching for some PC players, and our team is currently working hard to turn around a fix in the coming days. As this fix will only update the launcher, the game version won't change and will have no impact on any installed mods.

    Stay tuned here for more information as we get it, and thank you so much for your patience while we get this sorted out!
