@bemzyboo Is this the error you're seeing?
If so, please try the suggestions in the first post on page one. Otherwise, please post a screenshot of the error.
Hi @puzzlezaddict , thanks for your reply and suggestion.
This isn't the fault that I'm experiencing no. I've just booted my laptop up in an attempt to get the fault word for word and now EA App opens however when trying to play The Sims4, the App just closes and nothing happens...!?! I then have to open Task Manager and close the EA App etc in order to get the EA App to open up again.
On the EA App it says that it thinks that I've played it today as well, so it must be booting up the game somehow?
@bemzyboo As a test, please try playing in a clean user folder. Move the entire Sims 4 folder out of Documents > Electronic Arts and onto your desktop, and when you launch the game, if it launches, a clean folder will spawn with no content. (Your saves and other content will be intact in the folder you moved but temporarily not read by the game.) Don't add anything to the new folder yet; just let me know whether you can get far enough to start a new save and play in live mode for a bit.
If that doesn't help, please let me know what antivirus you use, and also run a dxdiag and attach it to a post.

I've just had time now to try your suggestion. I thought I'd just try and launch Sims4 and it came up with the repair error that I've been getting. I've attached it to this reply.
Sims4 wasn't in the Electronic Arts folder, it was kn a separate EA Games folder. Nevertheless I moved it from the folder to the desktop. When I launched the EA App it now thinks that Sims4 isn't installed and the only way to play it, by the looks of things, in to download it again. Before doing this I'll wait to hear back from you just incase. Thanks again fornyour continued help.
