The sims launches with logo animation and crashes (Steam)
I ve uninstalled the game 6 times already and installed it back, 5 times on my ssd and now on the hdd and still the same problem. I have no mods, I ve tried to do everything I found in the forum to fix it with the remove files etc, move folder and etc etc. Nothing works. Why everytime there is an update I have to do something to fix the same... Im tired of it, as every other game, I don't have to fix anything to play it... I use w11, no OneDrive and Steam with -dx11 forced, tried to remove it , launch= nothing, tried to change to -dx9, launch it= nothing. Tried to to de EA recovery repair thingy app and still nothing+ verify integrity of files in Steam still nothing. And no it's not a software problem... gpu4060ti, ram 32gb , cpu r7 5700g and 1TB ssd and hdd. Space left on the hdd I've installed now it's 781gb and on the ssd I have it installed previously was 80gb. I know it's suggested to have at least 25-30gb space left where you have the game installed, still nothing :), I'm so tired to spend hours to rebuild everything I had everytime there is an update and still waiting days to be ABLE to play the game.
Diana2103 Despite the wording of the error, this is typically caused by an overactive antivirus blocking the game. So please set exceptions in yours for TS4_x64.exe and EADesktop.exe, plus TS4_DX9_x64 or TS4_x64_fpb if you use the DirectX 9 or Memory Boost version of the game, respectively.
Even if you only use Windows Defender, Controlled Folder Access could still trigger the error.
