Unable to install the game & DLC

@dizzzi12  Just so I'm clear, you currently do NOT have Sims 4 installed through Steam or the EA App, and you're still getting this error?  Or are you seeing this error once you install Sims 4 through the EA App?

If you don't have the game installed, please try installing it into a different folder, one you create for this exact purpose.  The folder should be on the root level of the drive of your choice, for example C:\Games is fine, but not C:\Program Files\Games.

If the game is installed, and you can't play, please clean-uninstall it and the EA App as well.  For Sims 4:

• Put aside your Sims 4 folder in Documents\Electronic Arts and rename it to something that doesn't include the words "Sims 4."
• Download Revo Uninstaller (the free version is fine) from here.
• Launch Revo, select Sims 4 from the list, and click Uninstall.
• Cancel the system restore point; you don't need it.
• Once the game is uninstalled, select "Moderate" under "scanning modes," and click Scan.
• Review the list, in case there's something you want to save; otherwise, click Select All, and then Delete.
• Close Revo, and restart your computer.

For the EA App:

• Launch Revo, select the App, and click Uninstall.
• Cancel the system restore point.
• The EA App may open a window.  Click Uninstall, then in the Revo window, click Moderate under Scanning modes, and click Scan.
• Revo will present a list of registry entries.  Click Select All, then Delete: you don't need or want to preserve these entries.
• For the leftover files and folders, click Select All, review the list and deselect anything you'd like to keep (this is unlikely, but it's worth checking), click Delete, and you're done.
• Close Revo, and restart your computer.

Install the EA App, then create a new folder into which you'll install Sims 4.  The folder should be on the root level of the drive of your choice, for example C:\Games is fine, but not C:\Program Files\Games.
