    @marilynzzz1  Your saves and other user data are stored in Documents > Electronic Arts > The Sims 4, so as long as you preserve this folder, you shouldn't lose anything.  It's best to make a backup of this folder before doing anything else.

    Try using Revo Uninstaller to uninstall the game:

    • Put aside your Sims 4 folder in Documents\Electronic Arts and rename it to something that doesn't include the words "Sims 4."
    • Download Revo Uninstaller (the free version is fine) from here.
    • Launch Revo, select Sims 4 from the list, and click Uninstall.
    • Once the game is uninstalled, select "Moderate" under "scanning modes," and click Scan.
    • Review the list, in case there's something you want to save; otherwise, click Select All, and then Delete.
    • Close Revo, and restart your computer.

    Uninstall the EA App with Revo as well.  I don't have instructions for that at the moment, but the process should be straightforward.  Restart again when you're done.  You don't need to uninstall Steam.
