Repaired, uninstalled and reinstalled. The message states that it needs elevation. Sims 4 is the only EA APP game that I receive an error.

    Can you try this:

    - Look for where the game files are located. It might be in C:\Program Files\EA Games\The Sims 4\Game\Bin\ or somewhere similar
    - Right-click on TS4_Launcher_x64 and select Properties.
    - Click on the Compatibility tab and check the box for "Run this program as an administrator".
    - Then click the Apply button, and then the OK button.
    - Then try launching again.

      I tried that. I keep getting that "The requested operation require elevation". My game was fine yesterday.

      This is insane that EVERY time there's an update on this game it's literally un-playable.
