Here's a few tips for the initialization error: https://sims4.crinrict.com/eng/2014/09/unable-to-start-initialization-error-at-startup/
But if Origin has issues with verifying/repairing the game, there might something else going on (yours is not the only thread saying that).
Hello @crinrict
Thanks for your reply I should've replied earlier but couldn't, here's what I did:
Saw your post
Clicked the link
Realized it was not going to be easy, but totally worthy, so...
I started Origin, Origin started to "repair" my game for the fourth time
To reinstall Origin I had to turn it off first ('cause I had done everything else)
It wouldn't close 'cause it was well, busy downloading for the 4th time
So I unqueued all of the packs and expansions and just let it download the main game
It finished in 5 seconds
I ran the game
and guess what?
It ran. It executed perfectly and beautifully as always, well, not always, I had a major issue a while ago but that's another story
So that's that, thanks for your help, the issue I repaired it in the first place got fixed, btw so the only question left is will Origin behave the same the next time I repair my game?
Oh and I deactivated Origin in the game
Thanks so so so much again!
- crinrict5 years agoHero+@paolaelectra No, it shouldn't. Origin might have had an issue or something.
A repair checks your local files against the server ones and repairs anything that doesn't match up .. usually that's not much to download, just a verification process.- paolaelectra5 years agoNew Veteran
Thanks again, @crinrict , will do 🙌
