So i used to use reshade quite alot on the game 'The Sims 3' however after having troubles with the game i stopped using the game and reshade for a while but since im able to get the game up and running again i wanted to try and get reshade working again however i keep getting the same annoying error message and no matter what steps ive found online to try and get rid of it, nothing seems to work.

I've tried the:
In the properties window click on the Security tab then click on Edit.
- On the Permissions window click on the Add button to open the Select Users Group or Groups window.
- On the Select Users or Groups window you can enter the usernames i.e.,everyone.
- Then, click OK.
- Select Full Control by placing a check mark on “Allow”
- Apply the settings.

Method but that doesn't work. What else is there i can try and do to try and fix this or at the very least get the error message to be gone because using presets still work...

Is it because my whole Sims 3 game is in administrator mode? is it because i have to run my sims 3 game and EA app with them being in a ransomware folder?

Im not sure how to fix this as ive never had this problem before and all other troubleshooting tips ive found online dont seem to work.. if anyone needs more info for you to help me im happy to provide.

So I've used ReShade for Lord of the Rings Online for a few years now. I was having the same issue. What worked for me was running the installer and completely uninstalling ReShade. Then I ran the installer again 'As Administrator' so it had all the rights at the beginning. After that it worked perfect. I hope this helps you out!
