I downloaded the new EA app and I went to play the sims and it won’t come up. But EA keeps saying it’s already open. I tried resetting my sims folder, making an exception, deleting it in my task manager, all that. Still will not pop up. Someone help pls!
I am also having this issue (3/26/23 and 3/27/23). I hope EA is able to fix this issue, I have also tried everything and I'm so sad.
@kitty2ooo What antivirus do you use?
Hello! I am having the same issue. I have tried your suggestion but with no luck.. I have Windows Defender as my antivirus.
@lydibird Which suggestion did you try that didn't help? The first would be to pause OneDrive syncing, which you can do by right-clicking the OneDrive icon in the lower-right corner of the screen. The second would be to create a new admin Windows account, specifically a local one (as in, don't link it to your Microsoft account), and try playing in that.
