As for the Origin issues, try if it helps if you turn of the Origin web services as described here: https://crinrict.com/blog/2020/01/origin-issues-with-installing-and-updating-origin-and-origin-games.html
Again, thank you for the help. I've been at this all day. I performed a refresh on my PC to ensure there were no registry issues. I reinstalled Origin. I installed the game. I made the process startup changes outlined in the link you added. I set both the x64 and LE executables to run using the NVidia graphics card through Graphics Settings. I tried to run Sims 4, but it wouldn't start. It said there was an error with a .dll and I need to repair. I tried to repair, and it hung at 2% for a long time, increasing the estimated time to repair by hours. I canceled the repair, which took a few minutes. Now I'm going to uninstall and reinstall Sims 4 yet again.

I'm sorry, I don't remember which .dll it had an issue with. I have reinstalled Sims 4 and now when I run it, I get the error "Can't run The Sims 4 with the video card in this system. Please check that the video card meets the minimum specifications and that the latest video drivers are installed." This error occurs whether I run the x65 or LE version and whether I use the NVidia graphics card or the on-board graphics.
Also, I do have the latest version of my graphics driver.
Latest update: I restarted my machine. Now, I get an error saying "Invalid license. Reason code = No License (0x0003).
I found the solution that says to delete the .dlf file. I deleted the file and restarted. Now it just has an application error: "The application was unable to start correctly (0xc0000005). Click OK to close the application.
