[PC] Controlled Folder Access blocking exe file/Error 21 or 22/Delivery Error

Clicked on Crinrict's link above, followed the instructions and problem solved.  Thank you Crinrict. :)

I pre-ordered legacy and when I load game to play I get a pop up saying download in progress and in top right corner there is an error message Sims Delivery Error   Code: 00000008:00000000000000c8      I am unable to play or save and exit. Please help thank you Tracy   [edit: email address removed]

Thanks for your response. Where do i find the choice for automatic decliery on/off?

I'm at my wits end. I have followed EA's recommendations to get Sims 4 to stop giving me error code 00008:

1. Cleared out caches within the EA app, then restarted it.
2. Inactivated NordVPN security as a background protection to make sure it doesn't interact witht he game.
3. Restarted the router for possible connection issues.
4. Uninstalled and then reinstalled the EA app from the the EA website.
5. Restarted the whole computer.

Same problem still exist and I can no longer load my previous games and it continues to give me the same error code: 00008 download error.

I would love to purchase some add-on additions to my Sims 4 game but I am not willing to do so if the base game is not working. I am not a computer whiz and the above steps are all I know what to do. 

Is someone able to help me figure this out?

Thank you in advance!

I haven’t been able to play online because I keep getting a Sims Delivery Error. Does anyone know how to fix this? 

This is what I’ve tried so far:

I have onedrive turned off. I use Norton for an antivirus and have the game added to exceptions. I moved my mods folder out and deleted the localthumbcache.package, but it didn’t change anything. I repaired the game and cleared the cache too. I also ran the EA app as an administrator. 

I’m not sure what to try next. I’d appreciate any advice! 

It seems this might be an issue with SDX.
I saw these instructions in an older thread. Hope it helps 😊

• Make sure your game is updated to the latest version.
• If you're still seeing the issue with an updated game, try this:
• On EA App or Origin, switch to Offline mode
• Launch the game
• Open the game settings and under the Sims Delivery tab -> uncheck "Automatically Download"
• If an SDX delivery is listed as being in progress and broken, you may be able to cancel from that same tab
• Exit the game
• Switch EA App or Origin back to Online mode
• Launch the game
• Open the game settings and under the Sims Delivery tab -> check "Automatically Download"

Hi TedDizzle​ 

I merged your post with the main post. Please check out the suggestions on the first page and make sure your security software isn't blocking Sims.

Hi! 
I tried this and it’s still not working. It shows the same sims delivery error notification. Any other suggestions? 

McKenzieM98​ Did you try adding your exe as exception as described in the first post ?
