Already running

★★★ Newbie

So I know the issue has been posted here before but I figured I would start a new post as I have extended issues for it.

 

When starting The Sims 4 I get an error code that the game is running when it obviously is not. I'm currently re-installing to see if that fixes it. But when I first googled it, it said it was an issue with Windows 10 saying I needed to "Share" the Electronic Arts folder in my Documents.

 

However there is no Electronic Arts folder in my documents

 

So I tried my second best option which is the file location in the Origin games folder under like "This PC" > "Program Files x86" > "Origin Games" > "The Sims 4"

 

I shared that with all the users on my computer with the ability to "read and write" and still no luck. I even tried reinstalling the game but I'm still getting the same stupid error and it's really frustrating cause I just want to play!

@DoubleUTeeEfff Try right clicking the file The Sims 4 and running it as administrator.
