    Hey @LeSorelleYT are you seeing an error message of any kind when this issue occurs?

    Can you try repairing the Sims 4 from within Origin by opening your My Game Library, right-clicking on the Sims 4 tile, and then selecting repair?


    This will check your installation for any issues and should it find any fix them.

    Incorder to play with Sims 4, I am only using the Sims 4 Legacy to play but it's sad that I can't play with the University Expansion Pack and the Tiny Living Stuff Pack.

    @LeSorelleYT  I've moved your thread to the Sims 4 PC tech section.

    You shouldn't need to play the Legacy Edition of Sims 4, especially since you could play the standard version before.  Please move the entire Sims 4 folder (not the Sims 4 Legacy Edition folder, the one that just says "The Sims 4") out of Documents\Electronic Arts and onto your desktop.  Switch back to the standard version in Origin: open your game library, right-click on the Sims 4 icon, select Game Properties > Advanced Launch Options, and choose 64-bit from the dropdown menu.

    When you launch the game, if it launches, a new Sims 4 folder with no content will spawn in Documents\Electronic Arts.  Don't add anything to this folder yet; just see whether you can start a new save and play for a bit.  Let me know either way.

    If the game still doesn't start, please run a dxdiag and attach it to a post.
