Sims 4: Unable to start, origin is currently running
I'm trying to download all of the games4theworld sims 4 expansion packs&stuff. I successfully installed the base game and get to work, but when I tried to install get together I would get a message when starting up the game saying the Origin is currently running and I need to make sure it's off before playing. Origin isn't open and I followed the guide earlier on how to separate Sims 4 Origin from Sims 4 games4theworld. I followed the installation guide...not sure if i'm doing anything wrong. Any advice anyone?
Thanks,
Michelle

Re: Sims 4: Unable to start, origin is currently running
Most probably your The Sims 4 installation is still in C;|Program Files (x86)\Electronic Arts.
MOVE (not copy) the folder The Sims 4 to anywhere on your computer, f.e. simply under C:\Prpgram Files
Reason 2 is often caused when you installed the base game from G4TW's download as this download automatically places the game in C:\Program Files (x86)\Electronic Arts\The Sims 4.
So MOVE, not COPY, it out of the folder Electronic Arts.
Reason 3. is caused when you have not placed the installation folder The Sims 4 AND the folder where you extract Winrar downloads in the exceptions of your anti-virus.
Extract your highest installed DLC again and copy the folder Game again to your installtion folder.

THE origin not running error
This error can only by caused by:- Origin (or ZLOrigin) is still active/running on your computer. Close all instances of Origin/ZLOrigin.
- Your installation folder for the Sims 4 (or a copy of it) is still within another directory Electronic Arts, Origin, ZLOrigin, Origin Games or ZLOrigin Games. MOVE it to f.e. Program Files(x86)\The Sims 4 by Cut/Paste.
- Your anti-virus has disabled the crack Rld.dll and/or RldOrigin.dll in your installiaton folder\Game\Bin.
- You placed a copy of TS4.exe or TS4_x64.exe on your desktop instead of a shortcut.

I actually found a weird way that I fixed my problem on another thread. Someone suggested changing the name of “The Sims 4” in my program files/electronic arts folder to just “The Sims4” deteing one space. In surprisingly worked
