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...
Forum Discussion
@adancingirl Please do all of this, together, before playing again:
- Clear Origin's cache
- Repair the game: open your Origin game library, right-click on the Sims 4 icon, and select Repair
- Move the Sims 4 folder out of Documents\Electronic Arts and onto your desktop (again)
- Restart your computer
Let me know whether the game launches. If it doesn't, create a new admin Windows account and try to play in that. Make it a local account, as in, don't sign into Microsoft, and don't sync with any other services you normally use. You'll be able to sign into Origin and won't need to redownload anything, but your saves and other content won't be available. That can be addressed later; for now, just see whether you can get far enough to start a new save.
DOWNVOTE!
If I did not have a back up file, I would have lost all my saves & mods doing this. Delete this asap! And no one else follow these instructions
@15tpsg3j0r90 There's no downvoting here, and no one is going to delete my post because you didn't read carefully. At no point did I say delete anything; I said move the files, which would of course leave them intact. So if you deleted the originals, you weren't following the instructions.
