Re: [CURRENT ISSUE] Sims 4 already running

Hi, so all of a sudden, I am now getting this error when I try to play my game.  

I have uninstalled and reinstalled both the EA App and the Sims 4 game

I have cleared the cache and done a game repair, several times.

Nothing is working.

Has anyone had this issue before, and been able to resolve it easily?

    I was able to resolve this issue, simply by removing the Sims4 Folder.. 

    My Documents - Electronic Arts - The Sims 4

    I put that folder on my desk top, then launched the game, which started immediately, and created a new Sims 4 folder.

    I was not too worried about my previous game saves, but if I wanted to import the saves back into the game, I could have done so.

    I don't play with Mods currently, so this was also not an issue.

    Ended up being a very simple fix that I worked out myself.
