Sims 4 won't run on Windows 8
I already looked up the issue on here, but couldn't find any answers. I've installed the Sims 4 in July 2015 on my laptop (Acer Aspire V 15 Nitro - Black Edition) and it ran fine until this spring....
sounds more like an Origin than a Sims issue.
Can you try manually reinstalling Origin itself: https://help.ea.com/en-us/help/origin/origin/manually-uninstalling-origin/
