Failed to launch issue

Question

I have seen that many other people are experiencing the issue of “Game failed to launch. Please try again later”, and I have tried many of the fixes that were suggested. This only started happening to me after the emergency patch. I know that my script mods are not causing the problem, because I have tested them and updated all the ones I could and they work fine. I am pretty certain the cause is my CC, because when i remove my CC folder I can launch the game.

I’m aware that content creators need time to update things, but I have over 6,000 pieces of CC and it will take hours to go through it all. I tried the 50/50 method but i found that most of the folders have something broken.

Is there anything else i can do? Or should i just toughen up and individually search every folder?

I've done exactly the same. Nothing works. 🙄 I just played 2 days ago, everything was fine, then after EA updated the game, the game won't launch.
Seems to me, like EA is having a problem with all the custom cc and mods, we can download for the game for free.
I don't think it's a coincidens, that after the new update with the marketplace, where you have to PAY for extra CC through EA.. - then suddenly, all our free CC and mods dosen't work and we cant play.
