    It is not a file but a folder and you are probably looking for C:\Program Files (x86)\Origin Games\The Sims 4\Game\Bin unless you play on a Mac.

    I understand your Sims4 icon on the desktop stopped works after the Legacy patch.
    One question: is your system 64 bits or 32- bits?
    I have a 64-bit system and the patch forced me to download Legacy Edition although I didn't need it.
    Of course, the icon on the desktop stopped work after it.
    So if you have a 64-bit Windows system:
    Go to the Origin/My games Library. Right-click on TS4 and select properties or game data. (My version of Origin is not in English so I don't know what the equivalent of this term is for you)
    Then select advanced startup options. Change from 32 bit to 64 bit there
    Then fix the game in Origin:
    Once more right-click on TS4 select the option "repair game"
    The first time launch the game from Origin - not from the desktop icon

    If your system is 32- bits
    Open Program Filles(x86) / Origin Games/ The Sims 4/Games/ Bin LE and right-click TS4_x32.exe. Select "Sent to desktop"

    I don't work for EA
