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.
- Huh, looks like this issue is still going XDMine seems to have started after the last update on the 12th. I have removed all mods, and have done everything on every forum/ FAQ/ Answers blog I have come across including going through my Windows Defender, uninstalling both the Sims4 and EA, and then reinstalling them.I also tried switching to using Steam, which gave me an entirely different issue of infinity looping the launch attempt.After re-installing through EA again, I noticed there is no Sims4 folder in my Documents>Electronic Arts folder, which means it's not getting far enough to generate a new folder. At this point, I'm not sure if it is the Sims or my EA launcher.
