@lehoeven I tried the link and did what it said, unfortunately it didn't work and I got the same error msg. : (

@Astrihol I'm in the same spot. I really had hope that it would work and was extra careful. As soon as I find something that works for me, I will post it here, so hopefully all of you can play again too. In return, I hope you all will do the same .

@Bluebellflora,

Yes of course!

I have a MacBook Air

Processor: 1,4 GHz Intel Core i5

Memory: 4 GB 1600 MHz DDR3

Graphics: Intel HD Graphics 5000 1536 MB

I have AdblockPlus on as basically a default and I have already tried to repair my game via Origin.

I have also tried taking out my mods/cc, but still the initialization error message popped up.

Hope this helps!

I have the exact same problem since the new update, even though I've downloaded legacy and I have done everything in THIS tutorial to see if it would help - but no luck, I still get the same message. Here is a screenshot of my macs specs. I hope someone can help us with this problem, since it would suck to not be able to keep on playing

My game version is 1.56.55.1220

Hi everyone!

So I’ve posted about having issues over the last day or so and as a last resort I tried something I found online, which was described as being a temporary fix. So be careful. I’ve linked a photo about what I did so you all could try and do this if you choose to do so. 

I did it and I am currently playing the Sims 4 again, without access to the gallery, which makes me believe that the Legacy Edition is in fact working now!

@lehoeven Hi! Is it still working for you? In what way is this a risk? Should I back up the whole computer before trying?

Thanks...,

[lehoeven]

@ElsaJ09 It’s still working for me! I’ve through CAS and am building in San Myshuno at the minute, because that lagged the most for me and everything is working fine. To be fair, I started over. So no mods, no CC, no previous save files.

I’m not sure if it is a risk to begin with, and if it is in what way. I’m not too knowledgeable in this aspect, haha. But I’m sure a back up could never hurt! I back mine up semi-regularly.

Same problem here! EA says the problem is with Origin. They have to solve this.

Hope they will do this FAST!! Not the first time I have problems with Origin.
