"You have several errors related to Memory. " : Please provide details.
I don't think it is hardware related as Microsoft Memory Diagnostics does not give any errors.
In addition, games that require more RAM to run than Sims 4 do not encountered such error.
So it must be Sims 4's own problem.

EA StaffHello @jlhk001 @WhoDaresWin96
Can you open Task Manager and let me know how much memory Sims 4 is taking up?
Are there any other programs listed there that are using up a lot of memory?
1. Task Manager shows 29.7MB for the process Sims 4
2. Only processes running are Orgin (EA Game Launcher) & Sims 4 (right after reboot & login)
3, Error now shows a different one:
Initialization error at startup
(see attached)
Hi @jlhk001
the initialization error is usually caused by missing rights.
Possible culprits
- Firewall/Antivirus Blocking
- Windows Controlled Folder Access blocking
- Not enough rights
Second error now fixed with allowing Controlled Folder Access.
Still don't know:
1. What causes the first error
2. What causes the first error to change to the second error.
