This is normal an error if something blocks your folder or a OneDrive issue.

You should look in this thread and begin to read from #4. If nothings help in there post there too, but I would recommend first to try #9.

Might be worth looking up that error code, or switching off your Antivirus for Sims 4.

found the sollution. its just weird that it worked for 100 hrs. then didnt work. then worked 1 night and didnt work again.

It was Ransomware blocking an app from running.



Go to Settings - Update & Security - Windows Security - Open Windows Security - Virus & threat protection - Manage Ransomware protection - Block history...



Then look for the SIMS4 .exe file that got blocked and "allow it".



Worked for me.



Hope this helps others.
