@pompadorbz Do you see anything inside C > Program Files > Electronic Arts? There would normally be an EA Desktop folder here, which you can delete to remove the EA App program files, whatever is left of them. I would then use Piriform's CCleaner (the free version is fine) to clean out any remaining EA App-related data. Restart your computer and try again to install the App.
I reinstalled it using the method-- It's still doing the same thing where I try opening the game and the window keeps repeatedly showing up then closing
I am haunted constantly by this thing opening and closing repeatedly

@pompadorbz Can you open the EA App by itself when you're NOT trying to launch Sims 4 first? Please let me know what you see when you try.

The app opens just fine on its own. It's only when I try opening The SIms 4 that it freaks out like this. Should I try finding another free EA game and try testing to see if that runs without problem?

@pompadorbz You could try another EA game, sure. Apex Legends is free to play. But please also try opening the EA App first, letting it load, and only then launching Sims 4 from within the App (or Steam if you've currently installed it there). If that alone doesn't help, run the App as an admin: right-click its desktop shortcut and select "Run as administrator."
