My Sims 4 game won't play!

I'm having trouble with my Sims 4 game being able to launch.  I tried clicking on "Launch Game" about three times, and the game wouldn't even start ...not even on the loading screen.  This is what it still looks like.

Even when I go into Steam to play it, it validates every time.  Is there a way to fix this so I can actually play the game without this taking place?  I have all my expansion, stuff, and game packs installed, as well as all my kits, and I play the game with as little CC as possible, and I don't use the marketplace.  I strongly feel this needs to be fixed, as I don't wish to scramble and search for a mod that would get the game up and running again with no problem.  Thanks.

  • I play on a PC.  But as a solution, I fixed this:  I restarted my computer twice, and now my game runs with no problem on the EA app.  I looked up how to do this on Google.  Maybe that was it ...I do have the game on Steam, but it works now.

  • Hi TanyaGir​ 

    what do you mean by it validates every time ? Seems you have the game on steam so you need to start it through steam. 

    To be sure, you do play on PC ?
