@Minegamer612  This issue shouldn't be unfixable, especially since you're able to play the first time in a clean user folder.  Try playing in a new Windows user account.  Make it an admin account, and don't sync it with OneDrive or bring over any settings from your current one.  You'll be able to login to your existing Origin account and run Sims 4 without downloading anything.  Don't move over your saves or other content yet; just see whether you can keep playing in that account without constantly refreshing the user folder.

Could I run it in a virtual machine?

@Minegamer612  Yes, you could, but performance would be somewhere between bad and unbearable.  Most VMs don't have direct (or "direct") access to hardware or their own graphics drivers, so the game would be rendered in software mode only.  To give you an idea, I tried this once to see what would happen, and I averaged about one frame per second.
