Origin not running. Empty Origin not running.

Post by Guest Tue 29 Mar 2016, 21:42

Hey! I'm sorry to  bother you but today when i tried to open the game it appeared a message saying that Origin is currently not working. 

I have the base game, Get to Work and Get Together and it was all working just fine until this morning. When i load TS4_x64.exe the game opens but it never reaches the main menu and it blocks my entire computer. And when i load TS4.exe it appears a message saying that Origin is currently not running and to make sure that it's running before trying to play.

Do you have any ideia of what happened?

Thank you!

Hello and welcome to the forum @beatriz_filipa,


Is your Windows operating system a 64-bit version ? If yes, please try moving your installation folder of The Sims 4 directly under C:\Program files. NOT the Program files (x86).

Delete all desktop shortcuts for The Sims 4 that you may have made so far, and go under C:\Program files\The Sims 4\Game\Bin. Make a new desktop shortcut from the TS4_x64.exe, and try running the game again. See what happens this time.
