    Hello.

    If you're experiencing missing text with the High School Years DLC, and are unable to fix it through previous troubleshooting, you can try to place the appropriate string file for the language that you want into the proper folder.

    For Origin:
    \Origin Games\The Sims 4\EP12\

    For EA App:
    \EA Games\The Sims 4\EP12\

    For Steam:
    \Steam\steamapps\common\The Sims 4\EP12\

    I've placed string files for the High School Years DLC here if you need them:

    In the meantime, the team is still investigating this issue.

I merged your threads in here. Could you guys please read the first post and try the suggestions and if it doesn't help, provide me with the requested files via PM.

Let me know if you have troubles finding them.

    Well, I just tried repairing the game. Still had code. Then I tried removing the strings file and repairing it and now it won't start at all: I get an error box that says "Unable to start: Initialization error at startup. [135dec40:90f690cf:00000075]"

    I have to sleep now, so I'll check back in the morning for news.
