    Hey all,

    We're locking this thread and starting up a new one here as we've released a patch that impacts how DirectX 11 and The Sims 4 function together.

    Please use the thread linked above going forward.

    Thanks!

Which language are you playing the game in? Polish
How often does the bug occur? Always
What is your current game version number? Latest
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? Most of them
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Launching the game
What happens when the bug occurs? The game after I add "-dx11" won't launch, it says "The Requested Operation Requires Elevation". I'm launching both EA App and the game as administrator. I have only one account on my computer (but I tried creating another one and it still didn't work). When I remove "-dx11" the game launches normally. It's not antivirus as I don't have any except Windows one. I have Windows 11 and I guess computer with good specs.
What do you expect to see? Launch the game
Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? Yes, but it's not working both with and without.
