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

Hi,

while i cant offer you a solution, I did want you to know that some of us have read your latest post, bluepixiestix has made a solid point based on our collective evidence, however, each one of us has had to find different work arounds, EA must know about this permissions issue, and in their unusual style, have offered no assistance to date. Perhaps now a good thread is established, you could reach out to EA and really Nag them about it, and I mean harass really, keep asking for help, daily,

I had to play sims 4 on a different machine entirely and it was fine, but that was after i had tried everything that has been mentioned plus many other ideas.

fingers crossed someone reading this has a better suggestion for you,

let us all know how you get on.
