Operation needs evaluation sims 4

Hi so I've been having issues the past few days with sims 4 from it just crashing to now getting a error message or operation needs evaluation, I've done my research but I can't change any settings on properties to fix it, can someone please help?

  • RGM12345  Do you mean "the requested operation requires elevation"?  And what settings are you trying to change under Properties that you can't?  You should at least be able to remove the "run as administrator" option if you've previously set it, which could also cause the error.

    If you want, feel free to post a screenshot or two of the issue.

  • RGM12345  Do you mean that you reset your computer, or something else?

    Based on the errors in your new dxdiag, please run a couple of basic checks of your Windows files:

    • Hit Windows key-X
    • Choose either “PowerShell (Administrator)” or “Windows Terminal (Administrator),” whichever option is offered
    • Inside the window that appears, copy and paste “DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth” without quotes, and enter
    • The system will start validating soon. If it throws an error, please list it here
    • After it reaches 100%, hit Windows key-X again
    • Again, choose “PowerShell (Administrator)” or “Windows Terminal (Administrator)”
    • Inside the window, copy and paste “sfc /scannow” without quotes, and enter
    • Post the message you receive here


    Restart your computer, hit Windows key-i, select Update & Security, and click the box to check for updates.  If any install, restart again afterwards.

    Please also disable Game Mode and Game Bar, both under Windows Settings > Gaming.

    If that doesn't help, please look for new errors in the Reliability Monitor.  Hit Windows key-R and enter "perfmon /rel" without quotes, and you'll see a chart of errors and updates with a column for each day.  Today is on the right.

    Look for an error that happened at exactly the time of your most recent Sims 4 crash.  If you find one, double-click it to see more details, then copy that info and paste it into a reply here.  If you don't see a new error, check back in an hour or so—the Reliability Monitor doesn't always update right away.

    Windows Resource Protection did not find any integrity violations.

  • oj90tunwht15​  Your command is missing the spaces.  Please copy and paste what I wrote.

    It's fine to run DISM and sfc even in the absence of any issues, but they don't fix anywhere close to everything.  So if they don't fix your issue, please let me know what happens when you try to play, and also post a dxdiag.  Click Windows key-R, enter dxdiag in the run box, wait for the scan to finish, click "Save all information," and save the file to your desktop.  From there, you can attach it to a reply using the paper clip (Attachment) icon included with the other formatting buttons.

    And make sure your game is NOT set to run as an admin, as described earlier in the thread.
