Having the same problem! It doesn't open at all: whether I go through Origin or the desktop icon. Origin minimizes after I click on it, but then pops up again. I've repaired & checked for updates. I have some mods but nothing new before this started happening. Been going for about a week.
Hi
Try resetting your user files as described in the factory reset described in this post: http://answers.ea.com/t5/The-Sims-4/FAQ-Troubleshooting-Steps-amp-Known-Issues/m-p/3621199
You won't loose anything. Just make sure to not delete any files and make a backup.
Try on a new game with nothing added back first (start new game). If it works, put back your save game and try again. If it still works, you can start putting stuff back.
- Options.ini (or just re-set all your settings manually)
- Tray Folder
- Screenshots/Videos/Custom music
- Rest of the save games (leave out slot_00000001.save which is the autosave)
- Custom content like clothing, hair, skins, make up ....
- Mods (one by one, making sure they all still work)
The rest does not need putting back, cause they are mostly cache files that recreate or log files that are not needed for the game.
Same for me but its been going on for about a year or so and haven't talked to anyone but im talking now.No, uninstalling the game does not usually remove your user files, that being mods, saves etc.
