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!
