    @Wildcactus11  Please open the EA App first, and specifically run it as an admin: right-click the desktop shortcut and select "Run as administrator."  Make sure it's fully loaded before trying to launch Sims 4.

    If that doesn't help, please uninstall the EA App with Revo Uninstaller (the free version is fine), and use the Intensive scanning method.  Restart your computer before reinstalling the App.

    If that doesn't help either, updating to Windows 10 should fix the problem.
