sims 4 won't launch
I've redownloaded the game and removed all CC AND redownloaded origin and it still only reopens origin if i try to launch the game. Before I uninstalled it would only open if there was custom content...

@YourMerigold The Event Viewer error is common and might not be relevant at all here. Almost any Windows machine will get some of these just for running at all.
The Sims 4 Legacy Edition entries would be unsurprising if you had tried to launch the LE, or if it had tried on its own.
For the error itself, please try running the takeown command, as described in this post:
I'd like to know whether you can play after using it, even if it's only once. If it doesn't work in the main account, try it in the new user account just to be thorough. I'm curious whether something is messing with the permissions on your system after the fact.
Hi @puzzlezaddict, I tried the takeown command in both accounts, but still got the game already running error.
However, I also manually updated my graphics card driver, and right now the game is working. I was able to launch and exit a couple of times in a row. If it does not work again tomorrow, I will be back.
If it keeps working, I would like to thank you very very much for taking the time to help me with this issue!!! I really appreciate it. Now I can go and build my silly little houses again in my silly little free time. 🙂
