how do I make a deskstop shortcut for the Sims 4?
I wasn't thinking when I skipped over the check box for it. Also I'm not really tech savvy so pictures or steps would be greatly appreciated! 🙂

- Navigate to this folder: programs(x86)\Origin_Games\thesims4\game\bin (path may vary depending on your installation)
- there you see a file called ts4 or ts4.exe.
- Right click on that file and choose Send To .. Desktop
- This will create a short called ts4.exe on your desktop
- You can then rename the shortcut on the desktop by clicking on it until the text is highlighted.
I can't find this file, programs(x86)\Origin_Games\thesims4\game\bin .
It is not a file but a folder and you are probably looking for C:\Program Files (x86)\Origin Games\The Sims 4\Game\Bin unless you play on a Mac.
I'm playing on a Mac how would I find this on there

Right click on the app in your Applications folder then Make Alias. Drag the alias that is created onto your desktop.

I understand your Sims4 icon on the desktop stopped works after the Legacy patch.
One question: is your system 64 bits or 32- bits?
I have a 64-bit system and the patch forced me to download Legacy Edition although I didn't need it.
Of course, the icon on the desktop stopped work after it.
So if you have a 64-bit Windows system:
Go to the Origin/My games Library. Right-click on TS4 and select properties or game data. (My version of Origin is not in English so I don't know what the equivalent of this term is for you)
Then select advanced startup options. Change from 32 bit to 64 bit there
Then fix the game in Origin:
Once more right-click on TS4 select the option "repair game"
The first time launch the game from Origin - not from the desktop icon
If your system is 32- bits
Open Program Filles(x86) / Origin Games/ The Sims 4/Games/ Bin LE and right-click TS4_x32.exe. Select "Sent to desktop"
I don't work for EA
