@TigerReesePieces Your dxdiag lists a number of Windowd update failures. While these shouldn't directly influence SDX downloads, there could be a common underlying issue, and at any rate, it's a good idea to clean up those errors. So please run a couple of basic checks on your Windows system files:
Restart your computer, hit Windows key-i, select Update & Security, and click the box to check for updates. If any install, restart again afterwards. Then test with a(nother) clean Sims 4 folder.

Okay, but how do we fix this issue if we have it?

@TigerReesePieces If you use a third-party antivirus, please try disabling it, at least long enough to test. If that helps, you can try setting exceptions for Origin.exe and TS4_x64.exe. Also, if you do use a third-party program, please let me know which one; I'd like to see whether you and the other affected players have some software in common.
Please also temporarily disable Controlled Folder Access if it's active:

Here again, if it helps, you can reenable it and set the relevant exceptions, but it's important to test with it completely disabled first.

@TigerReesePieces Can you try using your phone as a mobile hotspot? (Make sure it's using data, not your home wifi.) If there's an issue with your network, this should help. And if you'd prefer not to use your phone's data, you can take your laptop to a location with public wifi and try it there.
