@puzzlezaddict I just sent my file location, I checked in there but it doesn't seem to exist in there
@r0s3ysims Looking at the screenshot you sent, I have no idea what this folder is for, maybe something to do with Oculus? It's also possible that this is a leftover pointer or some other empty bit of data. Regardless, Sims 4 wouldn't be reading the folder, so you can ignore it.
- @puzzlezaddict The thing is thats the only EA folder I have with Sims within it. When I had it redownloaded before it was because I had an error that said couldn’t start the game (now i have en error saying its running). The version of sims within that folder is the sims i redownloaded it in. So I’m assuming since I cant access the folder at all it cant open Sims because its in it.
- @r0s3ysims BTW the EA folder was last modified in June but the Sims I have downloded was from September 3rd
- @r0s3ysims And the sims is in that folder
@r0s3ysims Please try a new local, admin Windows account, as described in the first post. Let me know how it goes.
