Like the title says, playing the Sims 4 only ends up opening Origin instead of actually launching the game. I've seen other posts like this but not since the last November update, and none of the solutions I found solved my issue.
What happens: When trying to launch the sims 4 by .exe file, by shortcut, or through Origin, Origin itself simply closes if it was already opened then opens back up again. In task manager, I do not see TS4 in processes, but it does pop up for a split second in the details tab.
Solving attempts: I tried
- Restarting and shutting down my computer
- Launching the sims from different locations
- Deleting my sims 4 folder from my documents
- Going offline in Origin
- Reinstalling the game
Notes:
- I've never downloaded any CC and didn't buy any new packs since before the update (the game was working then.)
- I did notice other people having issues with their game crashing after the November update I'm talking about-- but only crashing after their game was working just fine. Mine doesn't show up at all.
- Should I wait till a new update? I'll add that I'm not entirely sure if that's what caused the issue since I haven't opened the game I'd say.. around a week before it or so.
