    @alakurielle  It sounds like your antivirus program might be deleting TS4_x64.exe, which some programs like to do these days.  If you want to double-check, the .exe is within the game's progam files; unless you changed the default install location in Origin, the full file path will be:

    Program Files (x86)\Origin Games\The Sims 4\Game\Bin

    Repairing the game normally puts back TS4_x64.exe, but not if your antivirus blocks it.  It's often enough to set exceptions for TS4_x64.exe and Origin.exe in your antivirus, but you may need to add them to another list as well, depending on which program you use.
