Forcing me to download unreal engine help?
- 2 years ago
@0oogie The error just means that the EA App is trying to link to the Epic launcher, which isn't installed. I'm not sure why you're required to download the Epic launcher again, when it shouldn't be necessary after the first time you launch Sims 4. But you can try just installing the launcher and running it as an admin before launching Sims 4. Right-click the Epic launcher's desktop shortcut and select "Run as administrator." You can do the same with the EA App.
One alternative is to unlink your EA and Epic accounts, if you can figure out enough account details to do so. Here's how:

The other alternative is to let Epic install the Unreal Engine, launch Sims 4 once, uninstall the Epic launcher, launch Sims 4 again to make sure you don't still need Epic installed, and then get rid of Unreal. That is, to go along with the demand one time and then uninstall the unnecessary extras afterwards.
