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.

Remember when my Sims 4 game wouldn't start earlier? What I did was this: I just restarted my PC and then shut down and turned it back on. The "Manage Game Download" thing for the base game was now back to normal, so it worked! Thanks to the internet search I did. I consider that problem solved, in case this ever happens again (for 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 ?
