Solution: Select Windows 7 Compatability Mode for Sim 4 Start Error (Even in a Windows 7 environment)
We were having this problem with TS4. Origin would start up but everytime we would try to launch Sims 4 It would crash and ask to close or restart origin. Disabling Anti-Virus and reinstalling do nothing. The error log mentions that at the point that Sims 4 is trying to load, either Sim 4 or Origin can't find a 32 or 64-bit Operating System which is stupid because it's installed on Win7 and neither program had any problem installing on my phantom operating system. Anyway after fiddling with it possibly being the graphics card, I decided to go into the Sims 4 desktop icon's properties and select "Windiws 7" compatability mode (didn't need to use "start as an Administator" at all). After making Sims 4 run in Windows 7 compatability ON Windows 7, (?????), the game finally started up.
Hope this Helps somebody.
