White box from hell. [SOLVED]
i have the same error i installed the base get to work then get together but i now need to install the ultimate fix as well? i have even applied the hotfix and still getting the pop up box...HELP!
here is a screenshot of the error wicked white box for me as well!(
***update***
so i am just so not getting this get to work expansion to work at all i did have success with the get to work and that one is all good BUT when i do this particular step
2. Go to: C:\Program Files (x86)\Electronic Arts\ ; if there's a folder called "The Sims 4" in there, select it and MOVE
it to the following location: C:\Program Files (x86)\ . If you don't do this, you will get errors while running the game.
Note that your new installation location will now be: C:\Program Files (x86)\The Sims 4\ , keep that in mind.
and then i do this step....3. AFTER installing the Get to Work expansion pack, drag and drop all the folders mentioned below from this .RAR file to the
folder where you installed your The Sims 4 base game to. If you installed the Games4theworld version of the base game, by
default your installation folder will be: C:\Program Files (x86)\The Sims 4\ (If you did step 2 of this Guide correctly)
A popup will appear, telling you the files and folders already exist. Choose "Copy and replace", to replace the old files
with the updated ones. Copy ALL the folders:
when i try to open my sims 4 on my desktop it says the shortcut does not exist do you wish to delete it at which i say YES to and then i go to where the sims 4 is in the new location only to double click on it and have all the files e.g installation and such show and no game is even loaded
(before i did this step with the moving of the sims4 from the ea folder to the new location (C:\Program Files (x86)\The Sims 4\) the game worked fine...so i am not sure what i am doing wrong...will still keep trying though

Hello again,
You don't have any mod for The Sims 4 installed, do you ? If you have mods, please remove all of them for now, and see if the error persists.
And, if you kept the installation order as TS4 base game -> Get to Work -> Get together -> Hotfix, then you don't need the Ultimate fix (this time).
Are you also sure that you configured your Windows Defender and/or anti-virus exclusions properly ? See this guide here for an introduction to teh subject matter. But depending on the programs that you yourself are using, you may need to do extra research on your own.

Good luck for now, and do keep us posted ! P.S. I split your post, and moved it to the correct section.

the item ts4.exe that this shortcut refers to has been changed or moved so this shortcut will no longer work properly
i can not even find the ts4.exe file its not in the bin of the sims 4 folder...

That means your file has been damaged or removed by Windows Defender or anti-virus software. Please have another look at this topic here.
https://games4theworld.forumotion.com/t18501-unable-to-start-initialization-error-at-startup-updated-on-11-9-2015
And then you need to learn how to properly configure exclusions on your own system. After doing so, please re-apply the latest updates for the game (Get to Work, Get together, Hotfix; in this order if possible).
Good luck again !

No problem, just wanted to check back and see if I can close the thread (which I can). Have fun for now and thanks for the feedback.
