The Sims Legacy (Steam version) won't launch

Question

The game won't launch at all. When I try to run it, the Sims icon briefly flashes in the taskbar for a millisecond and then disappears.Steam acts like it's launching the game, but then the Play button just resets.I’ve already tried the suggested fixes from the official EA forum including updating my drivers, but nothing works. I’ve also seen other users mention that the issue might be related to the latest NVIDIA drivers.Please investigate and release a fix.

I had a similar issue using the EA/Origin App.&nbsp; I ended up uninstalling and reinstalling and the game works again.&nbsp; &nbsp;Unfortunately, I hadn't backed anything up, so lesson learned:&nbsp; I'm going to back up my user files every week!
