Getting the failure to launch our fault error and also now the unable to repair game as not owned etc errors.🙅♀️🧚♂️🙅♀️
It all started with the game is ready to download and went downhill from there... now several uninstall/reinstalls, clear caches, multiple repairs, reboots of EA app, change to sys administrator and all processes tried again as sys admin. Two defrags, full sys scans, updated drivers and the dance around a full fairy circle under the full moon the game will not load, like AT ALL! 😟
I also decided hey let's just re buy it and try it from scratch, alas Nadda, Zip, Zilch! Now I have two purchased of the new expansion and yet nary a single fairy! Any added advice would be a bonus as no one seems to have any clue when we shall once again be able to Sim again. I have spent way too much money on this marvellous addiction LOL but I'm not a quitter 🤣
Found it!

You'll want to try the "how to force DX9" section instructions - this is what worked for me (on a similar issue to what you're having - I tried everything short of completely uninstalling and reinstalling the game and all my expansions), so it might be worth a try?
