EA app and steam refuses to launch the Sims 4
I'm unsure whats going on.
The game when I launch from Steam says Preparing game and then just closes the window. If I an not IN the window it turns around and says that i dont have permission to play the game as someone else owns it, which is odd as my friend bought it for me but it is all on MY steam account.
I can launch sims if I only install it through EA app, but then there are none of my packs on it. It refuses to take my steam into account.
tried:
- Used CCleaner .
- Restarted computer several times (after every change)
- Tried running as administrator both EA app and game from folder.
- Installed latest windows update.
- Verifying files in steam.
- Allowed through antivirus
- Closed razer and nvidia to avoid issues
