Sims 4 won't start Empty Sims 4 won't start

Hi

I tried installing Strangerville on too of my other G4TW games, and my game was working fine until this. I tried to move The SIms 4 folder to Program files from Program files 86 like the guide said, and the files got scattered. So, I removed everything, and decided to try putting everything into where it was previously. Now it won't work at all. Error says that I'm running a newer version, and to update game via. Origin. Now the files seem fine, they're in Pogram files 86/.  I don't know what else to do!

I haven't installed all the games yet now, I'm only on Fitness now (I understand that I have to have all expansions and such to install Strangerville)

So far so good. Just continue adding all DLCs.

If you want to play right now, go to "Documents\Electronic Arts" and delete "The Sims 4" folder. This will delete your saves, mods, options, etc. If you want to keep playing your saves, install all DLCs.

So, I ran into a new issue.

Now, I can't put the Seasons files from Winrar into The Sims 4 folder. This and Strangerville are the only torrents that are 7Z-files. Does that make a difference? Do I have to download new torrents? I can open them in Winrar, but when I copy and paste the files, they won't paste.

The newest version of WinRAR should open 7z files just fine. If it doesn't, use 7-zip.

I manage to open the 7Z file with Winrar, the files just won't paste into The SIms 4 folder in Program Files 86

Try using 7z to paste the files.

I did that now (it even said to use 7Zip in a guide, I just wasn't looking hard enough), my Sims crashes during start up. I tested the game in the validator. Report under. What to I do?

Move "The Sims 4\EP01\EP05" to "The Sims 4\EP05", replace files when asked.

Delete "Game_" folder.

Delete those files:
game/bin/core/winhttp.dll
game/bin/origins.ini
game/bin/python33.dll
game/bin/python33_x64.dll
game/bin/rldorigin.dll
game/bin/rldorigin.ini
game/bin/rldorigin_ext.dll
game/bin/rldorigin_x64.dll
game/bin/rldorigin_x64_ext.dll
