Hi - thanks for the reply. Have tried the local admin account - same thing happen.
No error message received when I try to start the game. Two versions of the same thing depending on whether I move the program file on to desk top - if I do then the EA app will start, will come up with a preparing game box, game starts (sometimes completely basic, sometimes with DLCs ready to go), plays fine and saves fine. Next time I try to start it with the new program files back in documents about 50% of the time it will start the EA app, the preparing box will come up and then it will just go back to the EA app home page. The other 50% of the time nothing happens at all and the EA app wont even open.
Dx attached for the simplier machine
@thedieseldog1 Where is Sims 4 installed? "Program files" refers to the game data the EA App installs, so the game itself, not your saves and other user data. If you've installed this into Documents, that could easily explain the problem, but maybe that's not what you meant.
If you're not sure where Sims 4 is installed, open the EA App game library, click Sims 4, and select Manage > View properties. You'll see the file path there. Please list it for me here.
