Failed to Launch error post patch 1.122.218

I've done the hotfix for this today and I am STILL receiving the "Failed To Launch Game" error. I even did a repair on the game as well. If I remove all CC from my game, I can play, but I'd really enjoy playing with all the CC I have downloaded.

    Squealymealy​ what version of UI Cheats do you have? It got an update last week to be compatible with the Mar 17 game update. The current version is v1.53, updated on March 18, 2026. 

  • People are dealing with issues, trying to not get in their game

    One repair your game.

    two uninstall the EA app, reinstall it and run it as administrator.

    Three  delete the sims 4 folder To mods folder.

    Four The sims 4 folder. So make sure you put delete the mods folder. After you drag the files out of it to your desktop. And then repair. Hit as administrator. Then launch vanilla. Then put mods in your new mods folder.

    Five then do the 50-50 method, but if that didn’t work I don’t know how to help you.

  • Merged a few threads in here.

    The Failed to Load is a generic message so here's what you need to do if you still get the issue

    • Try the clean folder approach described here: 📓[GUIDE] Clean User Folder Approach | EA Forums - 12690428 --> If you continue to have issues on a vanilla game, create your own thread in The Sims 4 Gameplay Questions & Issues, include what you've tried

    • Test with mods only --> If it occurs with mods, do a 50/50 on your mods folder and check the list stickies in this forum
    • Test with CC only --> If it still occurs with cc only, repair your game and make sure you are update to 1.122.218.  Also try 50/50
    • If you are using Reshade or any other mods that go in the installation folder, remove them and test without.

    Did you make sure to delete the cache files, and the resource file? Granted I only tried it once, but it loads just fine with all my cc now(about 200gb). Although it could be a fluke since only ran it once I suppose... but I wanna believe it's fixed completely though I hope
