Re: [CURRENT ISSUE] Sims 4 doesn't start - No Error Message (Patch 1.68.154)

Thank you so much Karen! It was indeed the setting on my Sophos. 

it's pretty much either off or on, no other options (see screenshot).  I added ea.com to my list of website exceptions but that doesn't help this issue.

hey so I've tried the Sophos method(I've disabled windows firewall on my pc and replaced it with sophos) and I've still been having the issue

just wanted to mention this cause its a method that seems to be working for some

and did you disable 'code cave utilization' in Sophos? see graphic on my earlier post for clarification if not.

none of these are options are working I tried to repair it I cleaned out my tray and my cc I feel like I've tried everything but nothing is working I just want to play sims it just asks can TS4_x64.exe make changes to my device and I click yes and then it closes origin it waits for like 4 seconds and then opens origin back up and I'm like not origin simmssss!!!!!   

@karenKent This was my issue with Sophos, so thank you for mentioning it here! Took my husband and I forever to figure out how to fix it. For anyone with Sophos, definitely look at that post.

@crinrict yes I did, it was on the list of things you told me to write about what I've done(I actually edited it recently btw in case you wanna check up on it) I think, my dad told me to reinstall the game cause he thought the update download messed up, still doesn't work though

@TayloQT I'm just reading this post...I have been at a loss since the Nov 10, 2020 update. literally. I've watched old youtube videos, read so many blogs and by accident i came across the Sophos post. It helped and now i'm in playing sims and its working better than ever, really. What other methods have you tried? i wanna help. Sims life is the best life 

@nicvinn yeh I've tried everything, the recent bug fix also didn't fix the issue which is so frustrating xd but if you do wanna help I'd suggest being pretty active on this thread when it comes to pumping out info
