Weird Error about Origin and needing to reinstall Origin

Is your D drive where the program has installed automatically? I am not computer savvy enough to know why that happened. Maybe Tarac can figure this out. I know during the initial installation ( using G4TW version )the Game creates an Origin folder on C drive, from which you have to move your The sims 4 Folder. You can move it to anywhere you please. ( Mine is on two different external hard drives ( two times the game ) like to play it safe.But the initial install was to C. I am using all the packs from this site as I know they are safe and help is always close at hand should something go wrong.

Your system might actually use the D Drive as the default 'installation path' for programs. Hence, it will auto detect the D drive instead of the C drive when you install the game. Check to see if your D Drive have the Origin folder. Otherwise, it might be unlikely, but perhaps you chose the installation path to be on the D drive instead. 


Do check if your windows defender is turn off as well. Though the image error looks abit weird, since it mentioned 'activation'. 


If the error still persists, I'd recommend either asking at the FitGirls's download page or installed the G4TW version instead.

decides to 'pop in.' If you decide to change over to G4TW version however, feel free to post your problems to this thread as well.

Sorry for the late reply (even though I'm online). You can just delete the GameVersion.txt in Documents/EA/The Sims 4.

Hi there,



Have you move out your Sims 4 folder to Program Files(x86)? If yes, try moving them to Program Files or Desktop and run the game. Also, you can download the .dll files here and copy + paste the to your Game folder. Also remember to check if you have excluded the folders properly in both windows defender/anti-virus.

I see. Do you have any mods installed? If yes, try moving out the Sims 4 (in Documents this time) to desktop and run the game with a 'fresh' folder.

Yup, did that too. Also no antivirus, no firewall blocking anything. Very odd, didn't happen before toddler update

I see. In that case, try to copy + paste the Vampire update again, followed by Parenthood, and then Fitness stuff. Of course, do keep us updated here (if the original author issue has not been solved) or feel free to open a new thread if you feel like asking around some more.

Endless loading for household? Have you done the renaming for the Game folder to Game_ step? If not, rename your current Game to Game_ and then copy + paste Parenthood followed by Fitness.
