@98019801980199  Please look for related errors in the Reliability Monitor.  Hit Windows key-R and enter "perfmon /rel" without quotes.  You'll see a list of errors and updates, with a column for each day.  (Today is all the way on the right.)

 

For any errors that mention Origin or Sims 4, or any that happened when you tried to open the game, click "View technical details," then copy the information and paste it into a reply here.  Sometimes the Reliability Monitor doesn't update right away, so if you don't see any related errors, be sure to check back an hour or two.  The timestamp on the initial chart can also be off by up to an hour, so that's not an entirely reliable metric, but the one within the technical details should be accurate.

Re: My legacy edition doesnt work

@98019801980199  I'm sorry to say it, but I don't know how to fix this error, and I haven't seen anyone else fix it either.  This error has shown up for quite a few people running the Legacy Edition since last November, and all the usual troubleshooting steps have done nothing, so I don't really know what to suggest.  I can list a few things to try if you'd like, but I don't want to get your hopes up.

thank you for trying to figure this out. I will be happy to get some options you mentioned. right now i will try to fix this error by reinstalling origin (I've seen post related to this issue and it could help)

Re: My legacy edition doesnt work

@98019801980199  Doing a clean uninstall and reinstall of Origin and Sims 4 would be my first suggestion, and if you want to be as thorough as possible, use Revo:

 

Start by uninstalling Sims 4:

  • Put aside your Sims 4 folder in Documents\Electronic Arts and rename it to something that doesn't include the words "Sims 4."
  • Download Revo Uninstaller (the free version is fine) from here.
  • Launch Revo, select Sims 4 from the list, and click Uninstall.
  • Once the game is uninstalled, select "Moderate" under "scanning modes," and click Scan.
  • Review the list, in case there's something you want to save; otherwise, click Select All, and then Delete.
  • Close Revo, and restart your computer.

Next, uninstall Origin:

  • First, clear Origin's cache.
  • Quit Origin, then right-click on the Task Bar and open the Task Manager.  Scroll through looking for Origin entries.  If you find any, click on them and End Task.
  • Launch Revo again and uninstall Origin, and when it's uninstalled, select "Moderate" again and Scan.
  • If Revo finds any remaining registry entries, select all, delete, and click Next.
  • Revo will display "Remaining Data and Folders.  Select all of them except for the "Origin Games" folder, if it appears.  (This is where other Origin games are installed by default.)  Delete the rest.
  • Close Revo, and restart your computer.

Next, download the full Origin installer and run it.  Here's the direct download link:

 

http://download.dm.origin.com/origin/live/OriginSetup.exe

 

Be sure to run both the installer and Origin itself as an admin: right-click on each and select "Run as Administrator."  When it's reinstalled, download Sims 4; you can just download the base game, to save time, if you want.

 

I'd also try playing in a new admin Windows account, since it's a simple step and does address certain other issues.  And let me know what antivirus you use, in case it's a known problem.
