Re: Sims 4 won't launch
@Dwappie That is a very long time for a repair, but that's been happening lately, for no apparent reason other than that Origin has been acting up. Did you try deleting TS4_x64.exe? I'm curious whether it made a difference.
You can try running Origin and Sims 4 as an admin: right-click on each shortcut and select "Run as administrator." If that doesn't help, try disabling Kaspersky, just long enough to test the game.
