- Are you having problems opening Sims 4 on your computer or receiving an error message that shows 'The game failed to launch, try to relaunch it?' If yes, you.

Although the saves and the mods weren't there, so i made a new save there, and i will try to copy there all my cc-s and saves to my new admin acc. The Sims 4 is already running error has to do with missing rights or blocking of the user folder. The actual message is a bit misleading. In most cases the game isn't actually already running. Unable to start: The Sims™ 4 is already running.
Sims 4 players using MC Command Center have some extra insurance against using broken mods or cc, in the form of error-catching. Depending on where in game code an error happens, it could either be generated as a MCCC log error, or as a lastException.
I'll show you where to find both file types.
Here's what the notification for MCCC logs looks like:
For translating, here's what it says:
ERROR LOGGED
This rectangular message is seen less often than the more-square (larger) notification for lastExceptions, which will be covered below.

The next picture shows you where to look on your (Windows) computer for the log file. Depending on your OS settings, you may or may not see .log or LOG. If you don't, it should be shown as a Text Document.
There are three files in the MCCC folder named mc_cmd_center, the mod files (package and ts4script), and the text/log file, which is the file (highlighted in blue) to bring us, if you come to Deaderpool's Discord for help.
Here's what the notification for lastExceptions looks like:
For translating, here's what it says:
LAST EXCEPTION CAUGHT BY MCCC

The next picture shows you where to look on your (Windows) computer for the lastException file. It should be shown as a Text Document in your /Sims 4 folder. That's the file (highlighted in blue) to bring us, if you come to Deaderpool's Discord for help.
Some extra information on error messages: In your /Sims 4 folder, you may see 3 different types of error files. Their names all begin with 'last' and they are all text files.
- lastCrash: usually from old or broken custom content.
- lastException: any mod, cc or EA (game code) error not caught by the other file types.
- lastUIException: usually user-interface mods needing updated (weerbesu at MTS, for example).
Of the 3, the best one to show us on Discord is the lastException. (By the way, drag and drop is Very Handy on Discord!!) The other 2 types, we can only tell you what I've already said here. Other than 'you need to sort through your mods and cc,' which is detailed in this post.

Error Message Examples
One more thing, if you see any 'last' file with numbers added to the name, those are old. The ones with no numbers added are fresh. Any with numbers can be deleted, they won't tell us what's going on NOW in your game.
We really only need the ONE (newest) file, when you come to visit us.
