Sims won't open
The game won't open. I downloded it last night but it refuses to open up. This is how my file looks.

@puzzlezaddict When i try to launch it nothing happens , when i try to run it as admin, it asks me if i want to launch Sims 4 Legacy, I click yes and still nothing happens. I dont think it should be trying to run Sims Legacy because I shouldnt have it.
@JazzieThuqqinz Your'e right, you don't need the Legacy Edition. Are you trying to launch Sims 4 from the shortcut on the desktop? If the shortcut points to TS4.exe (the .exe for the Legacy Edition), that might be the issue, although usually Origin calls the correct .exe anyway. Still, try running Origin as an admin but launching Sims 4 through the Play button within Origin.
You can also try disabling Origin in-game. There's a global setting, accessible by hovering over your username and selecting Application Settings > Origin in-game; and a Sims 4-specific setting, accessible by right-clicking on the game icon in Origin and selecting Game Properties.
If these steps don't help, temporarily disable any antivirus/firewall you have. If it works, you can add exceptions for Origin.exe and TS4_x64.exe.
@puzzlezaddict I usually launch it through the "play" button in origin, and i still have the problem. I also disabled my antivirus and tried and it still did not work. As for disabling Origin in-game, I tried to do that an got a little lost. I got to this point and got confused.
@JazzieThuqqinz In the first screenshot, click the green icon to the right of "Enable Origin in-game" to disable it. In the second screenshot, uncheck the box next to "Enable Origin in-game for The Sims 4 Digital Deluxe." Usually it's enough to disable just one of the settings, but it's better to change both, just to be thorough.
@puzzlezaddict Unfortunaly that did not work.
