I had another pirated version, then my kid bought and installed the game for the add ons. I have erased and deleted all origin files and original Sims 4 files.

What can I do?

Hello @mandalynn122 and welcome  to the forum,


Try deleting the GameVersion.txt file, located under Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 4. Then re-start the game and see what happens. Good luck !

OMG IT WORKED!!! My child thanks you, she is super excited right now!

That's cool.   If you happen to have a legit version of The Sims 4 on Origin too, you might want to check out this post here. I'm mentioning it because it is a common source of error for the problem you originally mentioned.

Also, this topic here may interest you too, in case you do have both a pirated and legit game installed:
