Hi, i'm not sure if this error has already been reported but:

1. This happened after I downloaded a few CC today but all of my CC is fine and none of them are broken (inc. the ones I downloaded today.).
2. I have reinstalled The Sims 4, followed everything correctly.
3. I have applied the latest Sims 4 Ultimate Fix.
4. I have made sure the correct files are on the exclusion list.

Please help!  Why God. Why God. Why God. Why God.

Hello again,

Are you really sure that you are signed out of Origin, and that ALL Origin-related windows are closed? Even the window with the prompt to enter the Origin ID and password?

Even so, it may be possible that you need to check your task manager (press CTRL + ALT + DELETE to open the task manager). Look under processes or tasks for anything that has "Origin" in its name. If you see anything, right-click on the process and choose end task/process.

I am sure because I have deleted the application of Origin on my PC.

OK, what about the CC you added recently, have you tried removing those again?

Try re-downloading and re-applying the No-Origin files as well, here:

Talk to my left hand (wrong link)

I remember I only had it once myself (I mean that error), but that was because I accidentally had Origin open. 

By chance, did you try editing the in-game display language too?

I had this popup as well. What fixed it for me was right-clicking The Sims 4 application and clicking 'run as administrator'.  Surprised

Do you have custom content as well, when this pop up happened?

Sorry to hear that, but at that point I'm afraid I can't say much else; we would need to look into that problem again, and maybe we can find something else about it. Until then, I'm sorry we couldn't help more.

Why God.
