Problems with starting The Sims 4
Hi everyone, I tried to start the game but it always displays a window (I'll attach a photo to this post) and The Sims 4 doesn't start. I tried to restart the game or repair it, but nothing has changed. I would like to avoid uninstalling the game to not lose the downloaded expansions, is there another way?Can't create folder
Since the most recent update I have been unable to play the game. I get an error that the folder cannot be found. So after 2 days of trying to repair the game, which failed, I uninstalled the whole thing, and tried to reinstall. I get the same message... I am on a windows laptop. I do not use any CC or mods. Its going to take forever to download 63.44 GB of data, but that's ok. As long as it will actually download and install. What do I need to do? Please help! Cynthia
Permissions error
I was playing The Sims 4 normally this morning, now it is saying it needs to be "repaired" and every time it downloads and prepares to "Repair" it says Permissions Error and I'm not able to do anything else. I'm not sure what to do at this point. I tried uninstalling and re-installing the game and the same problem occurs. Am I missing something? Thanks in advance
Infinite saving/loading screens
I originally started having this issue after the September update and saw other people were having the same issue and followed all the advice given. updated all mods removed all CC started a new save (with no CC) removed off-the-grid lot types switched back to DX9 Unfortunately, none of these worked so I decided to wait until the next patch and try again. After the October patch, I updated everything and it's still happening. Whether I'm loading/travelling with a family, exiting CAS, or saving when building on a community lot. I'm completely out of ideas of what I can do at this point; I have plenty of space on my PC and while loading can be slow sometimes, I know that's because I have quite a few packs and CC and I've never minded. But the infinite screens are getting too much, I can't play the game at all without running in to one and I end up losing any progress I've made. Really hoping someone can help or this bug can be lessened at least in the next update. 🤞
Ea app told me to repair it and it won't bc of permission error
So Ea app told me to repair it and it wouldn't bc of permission error. I uninstalled and installed the app again and when trying to download the sims again the same error would apear. I created a new ea games folder... still the same error. I tried looking up the permissions on the ea folder and could change nothing. I changed the permissions on the ea app to administrator and still nothing Attached are pics of the error and the folder and app permissions

Not enough disk space
I just got this HP 14 laptop, and I went online to see how to download Sims 4. This is my first time trying to play Sims and I was excited and thought I did everything right. I did all the instructions and then when it came to actually launching the game it said 22.23 disk space required and that I only have 20.26. I have been uninstalling unwanted apps, but this laptop has a lot of preinstalled applications that take up a lot of space. So, I was wondering if anyone else has dealt with this and knows how to solve this issue?
