Hello, the last tow days i cant launch sims 4. When i click play on origin, it just minimizes the window and then just pops right back. i asked a friend of mine and it seems that she had the same problem for two days in a row but today it worked just fine. I never had an issue like this and i play the sims almost everyday for the past months. Does someone had the same problem the past days? I tried to repair the game from origin, i checked for updates for the sims and for origin both, i cant quite tell what's the problem, and i haven't changed any settings on my computer thank you in advance!!

@FaniPanagiotidis Please run a dxdiag and attach it to a post.

Please also let me know what antivirus you run.

Hello and thank you for your answer. My laptop is brand new so i use the software it had from when i bought it, it's called "HP Wolf Security".

@FaniPanagiotidis HP Wolf Security is more of a system-wide security apparatus than an antivirus, but more relevantly, it's so new I have no idea whether it interferes with Sims 4 or not. Try adding exceptions for TS4_x64.exe and Origin.exe anywhere you can find; you may need to check your product user guides.
If adding exceptions doesn't help, I really do need to see a dxdiag.

@FaniPanagiotidis Please run a couple of basic checks on your Windows system files:
Restart your computer, click the Windows icon in the lower left corner of your screen, select Settings > Update & Security, and click the button to check for updates. If any install, restart again when you're done.
If you still can't play, please disable all HP Wolf Security components you can find in the Task Manager's background processes list. Don't reboot your computer until you've tried to open Sims 4—the processes will restart when the computer does.

So just an update for the people who may have the same issue. I was using some CC occasionally and 2 of them were broken? or something like this. i emptied the entire folder and put every cc file one by one. Anyway problem solved.
@puzzlezaddict Thanks for the help!!!!
