@AbC2663a9967752 This error is typically caused by something blocking Sims 4's access to the user folder. Just in case the folder itself is the problem, please move the entire Sims 4 folder out of Documents > Electronic Arts and onto your desktop, and when you launch the game, if it launches, a clean folder will spawn with no content. (Your saves and other content will be intact in the folder you moved but temporarily not read by the game.) Don't add anything to the new folder yet; just let me know whether you can get far enough to start a new save and play in live mode for a bit.
If that doesn't help, try pausing OneDrive syncing. You can see the option by right-clicking the cloud icon in the lower-right corner of the screen.
If that doesn't help either, let me know what antivirus you use.

@AbC2663a9967752 Try playing in a new admin Windows account. Make it local, as in, don't link it with your Microsoft account. You should be able to (try to) launch Sims 4 without reinstalling anything. Let me know how it goes.
