Problem with 64-bit/32-bit Origin

I am running 64 bit Windows 10, I have tried repairing the game (twice), I have uninstalled and reinstalled Origin launcher, and I still do not have that option under the Advanced Launch Options.  The only options I have are "Language" and "Command Line Arguments," neither of which are very helpful to me in solving this problem.

I don't know why, but for some reason it keeps shifting over to Legacy Edition at random times and when it does I always have major graphics bugs and scanning issues that give me mondo headaches.

@jwduncan79  Please run a dxdiag and attach it to a post.

Please also let me know what antivirus program you use.

well, I would appreciate any help that anyone can offer, since the problem apparently doesn't want to settle on any one thing (sigh).  In answer to your question, my current antivirus is PCMatic (I was using AVG but it kept causing issues so I uninstalled it).

The problem has once again changed, *now* I have the "When launching this game..." option under the Advanced Launch Options, but the game still won't launch.  It still *claims* that today is the last time I played, but the game itself won't actually start.

@jwduncan79  Try disabling PCMatic just to see whether it helps.  What you've described is exactly what happens when an antivirus blocks Sims 4 from starting, and if that's the problem, then other suggestions aren't going to make a difference.

The driver for your graphics chip is also somewhat old.  If the antivirus isn't the issue, it may help to update the driver.  You can find the newest version made by Intel for your graphics chip here:

Run the driver installer as an admin: right-click on the download and select "Run as administrator."  Restart your computer after installing and before trying to play.

[grumble]... Well, it was the AV software.  Apparently BOTH AVG and PCMatic were blocking the TS4.exe file from starting... and not telling me they were doing it.  After changing the settings around so that I get prompted for things like that from now on, it works just fine...  Thanks for the assist.

There is no option to sélect in my apps advanced launch options part. I have to write it myself. If i write 32 bit, will it still work ?

The legacy edition of the Sims 4 are no longer available.

If you want further help with your game create a new Topic and explain your problem.

The Legacy Edition of Sims 4 has been sunset, so there is no longer an option to switch between 32- and 64-bit versions.  Because of that and the fact that this thread is quite old, I'll lock it here.
