Re: Sims 4 stuck on Verifying Game Files
Hi - hoping to get some insight into this, since I started having the OP’s issue for the first time after a Sims 4 update a couple days ago. I followed all the suggested steps I found in the forums (...
@mahamari For your antivirus, you'll need to add TS4_x64.exe as an exception as well: that's the .exe that runs the standard (as in, not Legacy Edition) version of the game.
Try uninstalling Sims 4 and installing it into a new folder, specifically one you make yourself right now. Please do so with the antivirus still disabled; you can reenable it after you've tested the game. If you don't have the option to uninstall within Origin, you can do so with Revo Uninstaller:
- Put aside your Sims 4 folder in Documents\Electronic Arts and rename it to something that doesn't include the words "Sims 4."
- Download Revo Uninstaller (the free version is fine) from here.
- Launch Revo, select Sims 4 from the list, and click Uninstall.
- Once the game is uninstalled, select "Moderate" under "scanning modes," and click Scan.
- Review the list, in case there's something you want to save; otherwise, click Select All, and then Delete.
- Close Revo, and restart your computer.
