game wont launch with CC/Mods

I'm trying to launch the game; the "Preparing game" window appears, but nothing happens.

What I've already tried:

• Cleared the cache.
• Updated/cleared my mods.
• Renamed the folder to "The Sims 41."
• Reinstalled the EA app.

Despite all this, the game still won't launch. I'm stumped and don't know what to do. Please help. Also, after reinstalling the EA app, I got a new error message:

"Failed to launch the game. The game couldn't launch due to an error on our end. Please try again later."
