Every time there is an update I get an initialization error and the game won't start. This is bull sh**. I never know if this game is going to play or not and half the time I lose the work I had done. Wth? And how do I fix it?
Heya kellenvh
Are you running any antivirus software? If so can you disable it long enough to try launching The Sims 4 and let me know if that helps?
If you're able to launch with the AV disabled, you'll want to add The Sims 4 to the exceptions list to resolve this.

I really appreciate you trying to help, but this never worked either. And now, the game is running today with no problems. I changed nothing. This confirms my belief that the situation is on EA's side, not my computer. However, I don't know how long it will work until it stop again. This is what is frustrating.
