i can’t even open the game

The Sims 4 straight up won’t open. I have restarted my computer, and repaired the game, but it won’t open after the last update. When i hit play it starts to open and then it stops and brings me back to the EA app. Anyone else have or had this issue and knows how I can fix it? If it helps i play on a macbook. ive never had this problem before so im not sure what to do.

  • Same problem here, i am not on Macbook. I've tried everythig. Update, repair, deleted over 200 mods. Even reinstall the Ea app. Last night i just finished the house after 2 days and trying to move in. Man my game was loading for 2 hours. I just closed everything and went to bed.  What the hell is that. 

  • Hi! I’d recommend checking the LastException error. You can usually find details or codes there that explain why the game isn’t launching. I’m also a MacBook user, and I’ve often had this issue caused by files in the Overrides folder. If you want, you can share a screenshot so we can help you more in detail.
