Ever since EA made the EA app and shut down orgin i cant get sims 4 tp launch through steam. is there any way i can just launch sims without the EA app? The App has just caused more issues that i had with origin. How do i fix this or use it without The EA app?!?

  • @squishyermine94  No, there's no way to play Sims 4 without the EA App running.  If you have a third-party antivirus installed, please set exceptions for EADesktop.exe and TS4_x64.exe; do the same if you only use Windows Defender and Controlled Folder Access is active.  Either way, repair the game in Steam (Properties > Local files > Verify integrity of the game files) before trying to play.

    If that doesn't help, please run a dxdiag and attach it to a post.
