Re: [CURRENT ISSUE] Sims 4 Unable to Start, Initialization Error

After this last update my sims 4 won't start. A thing pops up that says Unable to start: Initialization at startup. [135dec40:29f00e76:00000084:18a1dd51] I have tried everything to fix it and nothing has worked.

    I'm having the same issue. I tried repairing twice.

    kierstenfaith101​ theOneKaE​  This error is most often related to an overly active antivirus.  So please set exceptions in yours for TS4_x64, TS4_DX9_x64, and TS4_Launcher_x64, or the Bin folder theyr'e in.  Set an exception for EADesktop.exe as well while you're there.

    You may need to repair the game again too.
