Re: [Info] Sims 4 - Download & Installation & Startup issues

The game won't launch, I can't even get to a loading screen, it doesn't even open a new window...

Every time I try to launch from the desktop, or origin it won't even open at all. I keep getting a message that says "The Sims 4 has stopped working". 

I've tried EVERYTHING that has been suggested by mods, and quite a few things suggested by other users and nothing seems to work. 

I've tried:

Running after cleanboot

Changing / disabling anitvirus settings

Repairing it through Origin

Updating my drivers 

Windowed mode...

Uninstalling and reinstalling (MULTIPLE times)

running in different compatibilities (XP, windows 7)

moving the .exe files from the bin folder and replacing it blah blah blah

If anyone could help or suggest something new it would be much appreciated. 


I'm in the same boat as you, really have no clue what else to do

    Yup - a complete re-install of Win 8 pro and I was able to start the game, first try. An extreme fix but it seems to work.
