The Sims 4 says I need Origin.

Hey sweethearts,

Welcome to the Forum @lilstein and sorry for the belated reply,

If you are on Windows 10, I would additionally recommend this here:

And this here for a basic overview about antivirus programs:

When all exclusions are set, you then need to re-apply whatever your latest TS4 DLC was. Just re-copy and re-paste the DLC files over, and replace existing files when prompted.

Good luck!
