Sims 4 from Steam refusing to open

hello! i installed sims 4 recently since i got a brand new gaming laptop. it has a rtx 4050 gpu and intel i7 cpu. i originally installed mods. it let me go to the cas screen, but wouldn't let me into my household past that. now, since yesterday, it won't start the game at all. it just says please reinstall the game and whatnot, so i did. i even repaired the game files through steam and it said everything looked good but it still will not start. ive done everything i possibly could. it's still loading that screen for me, and honestly im glad im not the only one with this issue so i feel less alone on the matter. i really don't know what to do at this point. like others had mentioned i ran the dxdiag and it said no problems were found on anything.
