I changed my game language to English from advanced launch options, but the game still keeps launching in Finnish. I tried repairing the game and changing my system language to English, and still no ...

Community Manager@nynny44, alright! So even after Origin verified the game files when you changed the language, it is still not working. Hmm, that's odd indeed!
Unfortunately in this case I really think performing a complete reinstall of the game would be the way to go. However, the other thing you can still potentially try is a Clear of the Cache of Origin: https://help.ea.com/en-us/help/faq/clear-cache-to-fix-problems-with-your-games/

- @EA_Leeuw Clearing the cache was unfortunately no help either. I've now accepted the fact that I need to reinstall the game, but now I've encountered a whole new issue: I can't uninstall! Clicking uninstall from Origin does absolutely nothing. Trying to uninstall through control panel prompts a confirmation window, and then a window asking permission for EA Installer Cleanup, and accepting is followed with exactly nothing. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling the Origin client, and still nothing... I'm at my wits' end with this!
@nynny44 Try using Revo Uninstaller to remove Sims 4, and Origin while you're at it. Start by uninstalling Sims 4:
- Put aside your Sims 4 folder in Documents\Electronic Arts and rename it to something that doesn't include the words "Sims 4."
- Download Revo Uninstaller (the free version is fine) from here.
- Launch Revo, select Sims 4 from the list, and click Uninstall.
- Once the game is uninstalled, select "Moderate" under "scanning modes," and click Scan.
- Review the list, in case there's something you want to save; otherwise, click Select All, and then Delete.
- Close Revo, and restart your computer.
Next, uninstall Origin:
- First, clear Origin's cache.
- Quit Origin, then right-click on the Task Bar and open the Task Manager. Scroll through looking for Origin entries. If you find any, click on them and End Task.
- Launch Revo again and uninstall Origin, and when it's uninstalled, select "Moderate" again and Scan.
- If Revo finds any remaining registry entries, select all, delete, and click Next.
- Revo will display "Remaining Data and Folders. Select all of them except for the "Origin Games" folder, if you have other games installed through Origin. Delete the rest.
- Close Revo, and restart your computer.
Next, download the full Origin installer and run it. Here's the direct download link:
http://download.dm.origin.com/origin/live/OriginSetup.exe
Be sure to run both the installer and Origin itself as an admin: right-click on each and select "Run as Administrator." When it's reinstalled, download Sims 4; you can just download the base game, to save time, if you want.
Restart after installing and before playing, and allow the game to create a new user folder rather than putting back your existing one, at least for now.
