@heyburak You manually create the "Program Files (x86)" directory on your D drive (the way you would a standard new folder). In Verkenner, once you've navigated to your D drive, you can press the Ctrl + Shift + N keys on your keyboard, or click the Nieuwe map button in the lintmenu, or right-click and select Nieuw > Map from the context menu. Then name the folder Program Files (x86). Once the Program Files (x86) directory has been created on your D drive, start the OriginSetup.exe installer, choose to change the installation location, and select the newly created Program Files (x86) directory on your D drive. I have installed Origin to Program Files (x86)\Origin on another drive; it works. You can install Origin to your C or D drive; it doesn't require installing it to Program Files (x86) on your D drive; you could install it to any folder, such as D:\EA\Origin, for example. I use "Program Files (x86)" for continuity and separation.

@CantirasI did everything but I dont know anything about ports.Not sure if I can do anything about that.
Changing the name of the hostsmap it says "you're not authorised" but I see 2 hosts files, one is type "bestand" and the other is "iCalendar-bestand". I tried to rename the first one. After that my virus scanner popped up and said that it blocked the "hosts file".. is that a problem? I still added the new notepad hosts file under the same folder so there is 3 hosts files now.
I think I did the rest succesfully.
Download failed again..

https://portforward.com/open-port/. But before going down that road, temporarily disable whatever software firewall you are using on Windows (e.g. Windows Firewall, Comodo Firewall, etc) to see if that makes a difference (unless you are absolutely certain Origin has been whitelisted for your firewall). Whether the game download fails or succeeds, please re-enable your firewall after trying. If the download fails with your software firewall disabled, then you can try port forwarding (again, re-enable your software firewall).

Yes.
Select Bestandsnaamextensies in the lintmenu, if it isn't already. Pause your antivirus software, then try to rename the old hosts file to Hosts.old. When you created the new hosts file, did you save it as "hosts" (with quotation marks) and save it to Bureaublad? The new hosts file should not be named hosts.txt; the new hosts file should not have a file extension. As per the article, once you've saved and closed the new hosts file, you should then be able to copy the new hosts file to C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc (but rename the old hosts file first). Once you've moved the new hosts file to C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc, unpause your antivirus software.
Disregard hosts.ics (iCalendar-bestand).
What errors do you currently see? 327684:1 and 327684:2, or just one of them?
Did The Sims 4 get as far as generating an InstallLog.txt in The Sims 4\__Installer directory? If so, would you attach it to a post?
Do you have another Origin game in your library (other than The Sims 4) which you can try to download to see if it downloads properly? I'm thinking this is specific/limited to The Sims 4 installation, but I'm not certain (hence some of the steps above).
Out of curiosity, does the download work if you boot Windows 10 in Veilige modus met netwerkmogelijkheden?

@Cantiras I have avira antivirus. I whitelisted the "origin setup" through settings > beveiligingsinstellingen. I disabled realtime protection and disabled the firewall. I fixed the hosts problem now. Renamed the file. Removed the .txt of the new file and pasted it into the folder so its good now.
I still get download failed but no error code this time. I enabled the firewall and realtime protection again.
yes I have the 15.7GB folder with everything. I attached the installllog.txt.
I have no other Origin games. Only Sims 4.
Ill try the safe boot now and update in 5 miutes.
