Forum User PokkiC's Threat Warning from Windows Defender
This issue has now been addressed, and if you haven't downloaded the update two days ago, you should only expect one update today that resolves everything. If you've already updated from July 21st, this Windows-only update will fix all launch issues.
Considering that this is a hotfix for a launch issue, you shouldn't expect any Mods or CC to be affected by this changes, as the game version will remain the same to the one from July 21st Patch Release.
Read the full statement from EA Community Manager below:
Sul Sul, Simmers,
a targeted Windows-only update is rolling out now to resolve the digital signature issue preventing The Sims 4 from launching.
Since this fix only updates the launcher, your game version will not change and your mods/CC will be completely unaffected.
Thank you all for your patience while we got this sorted out!
Have you experienced yesterday's issues with the false virus threat report and is the issue gone with today's Sims 4 update hotfix? Let us know in the comments and stay in the loop for all further reports on Sims Community!

With their history I wait a few days before updating because I really do not believe they test these patches before releasing. The prior stairs issue and now this just confirms my decision to wait is the best one.

Does anyone else have a problem with custom content showing up in build/buy? For example: My CC TV shows up in game, but if I try to buy another one, it just doesn’t show up in build/buy. I can search for it and it shows the correct name, but if I click on it, it just doesn’t exist…

There was just this one thing that’s been fixed now and the previous update just caused only a couple of insignificant issues that were fixed on the 21st. I’m not having any of these problems on pc, or ps4. This update really sped up performance. People have been asking for extra focus on fixing the game for years and that’s what they’ve been doing for about a year now and the game has majorly improved in that time. If they fix 100 things and two break that’s still a vast improvement.
