@elodielevine OMG the same thing is happening to me! I've been scrolling through these forums for the past 5 days trying to find a solution and NOTHING is working. I miss my sims. I've done everything. I uninstalled Origin, and reinstalled, cleared my cache, deleted my localthumbcache, removed my mods, cleared up some space on my laptop, i'm scared to uninstall and reinstall Sims 4 because I got it for free in the May deal and i'm scared it will make me pay if I uninstall. I tried cleaning my boot, and pressed play on game literally everywhere! also i moved my sims 4 folder to desktop and my ea folder. Repairing the game doesn't do anything, and at this point i'm going crazy!!!!! I DONT KNOW WHAT TO DO ANYMORE AND I JUST WANNA PLAY SIMS 4! Can someone please help us! By the way i'm on a Windows 7 if that helps anything. BTW i have sims 4 legacy edition if that changes anything either

    It has been frustrating and sad at the same time. You pay so much money and you can't play and you do not know the reason and you get worried about loosing hours of game. or that it would never work. I was able to fix it thankfully. I also spend days looking online for a solution and it didnt work and I was getting really frustrating. I understand your fear about the free game. I hope it doesnt happen. I did uninstall and reinstall the game. Before doing it, did you really try the antivirus tip? it worked for me.
