    Hi, thank you for the help guys but ive fixed i, i read that i needed to do the following,

    Click on EA logo on desktop and click on "run as administrator", do the same on the Sims logo, then restart computer.

    And low and behold it worked.  Thanks again for your help xx

tiggyw  This is typically related to an overly active antivirus.  So please set an exception in yours for EADesktop.exe or the folder it's in, then try again.  It's worth creating exceptions for TS4_x64, TS4_DX9_x64, and TS4_Launcher_x64 as well, or the Bin folder they're in.  You may need to repair the game afterwards.
