I am having this problem with a new install of Sim4  - it's April 2018 - THREE YEARS after the issue first reported here.  What gives?

Just repair the game. It worked for me. It only takes like 5-10 minutes to repair. After that, you should be good to go!

if anyone else is still having this issue, something i did was turn firewall protection off on webroot (an antivirus application), and it worked just fine afterward

Man this issue has persisted for years... EA wonders why people hate Origin, all I want to do is play a game I bought and I have to fight with DRM. 

I have uninstalled Origin, cleaned the registry reinstalled with admin rights, repaired the install, renamed the directory, all several times. It worked on one reboot, then the next day back to telling me Origin is not running, even though it clearly was. 

 

There must be some particular issue that causes the game to look for Origin, yet not be able to find it. Why can EA not tell us exactly what the issue is?
