Sims 4 is already running. [ed35e0ea:29f00e76:00000000:18a1dd51]

If you open your task manager, do you have any processes ts4.exe already running ? If so, try to kill it

If that doesn't work, try reinstalling Origin

Open up your task manager and click "more details" 

If you see Sims 4 is open, close it. 

This should work.

I have the same problem.But in task manager sims 4 is not open.Do you know what i could do?Thank you.

Hi @Tallulah_44

could you try repairing the game through Origin and deleting your Origin cache files: http://sims4.crinrict.com/en/2014/09/delete-origin-cache-files/

I keep getting this message whenever I open try to open the game:  Unable to start: The Sims 4 is already running. [ed35e0ea:29f00e76:00000000:18a1dd51]

 I have tried EVERYTHING on the other posts, even posts outside EA, but nothing is working. I bought Origin Access to play The Sims 4, but all I get is this error message. I

tried sharing The Sims 4 folder, I tried repairing the game through Origin, I renamed the folder, I ran it on Windows 8&7 compatibility mode, I moved the folder, I checked my 

task manager for any running processes, I restarted my computer several times, but NOTHING! I am trying to avoid reinstalling the game because my wifi is incredibly slow.

Any help would be appreciated because all I want to do is play the freaking game I paid for! The problem is not with Origin because all the other games are working fine.

Hi  @NadaSeif

did you also reinstall Origin ?

I had this problem myself and I figured out the culprit was my antivirus. I have Bitdefender and it kept blocking Sims from running. I had to go in and specifically allow the application (through safe files - Application access). This might not be the case for you; but I never found that solution myself when I had been searching.

How do you do that because I have bitdefender and I don't know how to do what you said

Hi @PrittyBritty123

this is something I found googling but I don't know what version of Bitdefender this is as I'm not using it myself: https://www.bitdefender.com/support/how-to-add-application-or-process-exclusions-in-bitdefender-control-center-1119.html

You want to exclude Origin.exe and ts4.exe in programs(x86)\Origin_Games\thesims4\game\bin (path may vary depending on your installation)

Same Error Code
