My game won't launch

I have been trying to get sims 4 to launch on my pc from both steam and the ea app for the past literal two hours and it absolutely will not. I tried moving the ea folder to my desktop like the help section said but it didn't work so I moved it back, and we're still in the same place of not launching. I am nothing if not tenacious so I continue to try but I am seriously on the verge of a breakdown. This used to happen all the time but the game finally got to the point where it would launch. I don't know if it is the most recent update that is causing this but I am extremely frustrated and don't know what to do.

Yay, @fujicakes1! I’m glad that you finally got it to launch! I would have been the same way if I couldn’t get it to to open. Even the smallest glitches can ruin my day trying to troubleshoot, LOL. I think it’s just because we put so much time & effort into our sims that we don’t want to lose anything or not be able to play! :)

Thank you, @MarteziaKing! :) At least restarting works for now when it happens. Fingers crossed the problem goes away, though!

Thanks @SimDork23 ! I restarted steam, restarted the ea app, restarted my computer. lol. It's ridiculous. Of course I'm ridiculous for getting so focused in on it but that is what my brain does unfortunately.

@MarteziaKing I did see that in the help section, I was just hoping that maybe someone here might have a more immediate idea / helpful input / whatnot. Another thing is that I really hate submitting things like that, for multiple reasons. But thank you for mentioning it.
