What is the best way to uninstall then reinstall the Sims 4?

★★★★ Novice

I have the codes replacing my ghost actions, achievements and The Gallery download button.

 

I see the solution to try is Uninstalling my Sims 4 and then reinstalling.

 

What is the best way to do this please?

 

I have the Disk version.

 

Thanks Standard smile

First try if repair game on the Origin client helps (right clic on the game).

 

If it doesn't, uninstall the game through your install panel (or Origin), then run ccleaner to clean out the registery and then reinstall.

 

If you have troubles afterwards, try this: http://answers.ea.com/t5/The-Sims-4/FAQ-Manually-uninstalling-The-Sims-4/m-p/3447927

Many thanks crinrict it worked.

 

I had already read about and tried the repair game on the Origin client but that didn't work.

 

When I went and uninstalled via the delete option, by right clicking on the game, under the "My Games" tab in the Origin Client, this made the way for me to then reinstall via logging out of Origin and reinstalling by disk, following the prompts via my drive.

 

It worked brilliantly and I am happily up and running once again with no funny codes :D

I’ve tried  to click on the game icon “repair” but that’s not even a Option. So could I just use my sims on another computer and delete off my main computer? And just use a new computer for my game.
