Sims 4 Get Together - Not Working

I have the crack correctly installed. I've added the install folder, the disk image and even the crack files to the exemptions list of Security Essentials (my only antivirus). I have net framework and Microsoft visual c++ installed. I don't have origin (though i had it before and i uninstalled it). I've tried transferring it to the C:/ folder. I've tried both letting it through firewall and not allowing it through firewall.
Here's a picture of said error and my game/bin folder: *there was a link here but i have to remove it*
I think it's a registry problem (MAYBE) as i do not have an entry in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Maxis\The Sims 4. I do have a Maxis folder there but nothing else further in it. If that's not it, any other help would be much appreciated. Been installing/reinstalling for the past few days, and I just want to play already. I had installed a free game (Theme Hospital) once from Origin, don't know if that's something lol though i've already uninstalled it" 

Sums up my problem. Posted it on the Skidrow-Reloaded website but no answers. Switched to the G4TW's releases to see if it made a difference, followed The Sim Architect's video step by step. And still, nope.

I downloaded the 3DM cracked version like over a year ago when there were minimal Sims 4 torrents out, not sure if I got a clean uninstall on that. Can that be causing my problems? When I say, clean uninstall, it might possibly mean I tried downloading a different release group's expansion pack and it messed my stuff up so I just uninstalled everything. Haven't played since. Is it possible 3DM's left some residue files on? Or nah? Please don't tell me to check my smaller antiviruses because I've uninstalled everything virus related excluding Security (yes, I've added the necessary files/folders to the exemptions list), and I have Windows Defender off. Help me, games4theworld, you're my only hope. Pics related.

P.S. please do not bump, as we try to get back to posts as soon as possible. Also, I deleted your attachments (after viewing the pictures). For the future, please select attachment file names that are less 'profane'.

Edit: Btw, thanks Mod Carlos for reaching out. I JUST REALLY REALLY REALLY WANT TO PLAY THIS GAME since I doubt I'll be getting out of the house much this break.

The registry is fine.

senorrandom wrote:(A long shot) but would anybody who's able to get there copy working like to attach a copy of their RldOrigin.dll in a reply? I'll download it and paste it in my Bin folder. I'm willing to try anything at this point to be honest.

edit: Or generally just rar all the crack files (i.e. RldOrigin.dll, TS4.exe, RldOrigin_x64.dll, TS4_x64.exe, rld.dll, RldOrigin.ini) from your copy that's working. Much appreciated.

I had the same problem. I was able to play the game at home, but when I was at my parents' house I tried to run it again and I got the Origin error. 
On this forum I read that EA sometimes 'blocks' IP-adresses.
I uninstalled the game and re-installed it (including the base game and get to work). After that I disabled my WiFi and then ran the game. It worked perfectly! Just remember to disable your WiFi before playing. I only have this problem at my parents' house so I think the problem is with their IP-adress, however if I try to play it with an internet connection at their house I have to reinstall the entire game before I can play it again. 
Hope this helps!
