    Good afternoon!

    Do you get the same message after rebooting your system?

  • GenX_Simmer  This is typically antivirus-related, and Windows Defender would be running if you didn't have another AV installed.  (You could disable Defender, of course, but it's not a great idea to go without any protection at all.)  For Defender, please either disable Controlled Folder Access, or set exceptions for TS4_x64, TS4_DX9_x64, and TS4_Launcher_x64.  They're all here:

    [install location]\The Sims 4\Game\Bin

    Here's a guide for Controlled Folder Access:
