Hey, so I'm also having the sims 4 already running error and I've done literally everything I could to fix it but I've had no luck. Can someone please help me?
@Aero_exe Among the troubleshooting steps you've tried, have you created a new admin Windows account and tried launching the game from there? If not, please do so now. The account needs to be local, as in, don't link it to your Microsoft account. None of your saves or other user content will be available, but that's fine for now; just let me know whether Sims 4 runs at all.
