I am having the same issue, I removed all the mods, same problem, I uninstalled everything to do with sims and installed a fresh copy no mods and the same screen comes up.
Hi @baer2112,
Is your error message exactly the same? Please, check it and let us know in case any of the numbers is different 😉
Could you try to follow these steps?:
- Close Origin completely
- Go to Documents \ Electronic Arts
- Rename The Sims 4 folder to The Sims 4 old or something similar.
- Open Origin and try to launch your game again.
Still the same issue?

The whole process deleted game, saves, mods, the mod folder would not delete even though nothing showed in it. I moved the mod folder to the desktop and that did the trick. There were files in that folder that were hidden.

Hello @EA_Mai,
I tried you steps and they worked! But it also deleted all my cc, lucky I have all my cc in a folder. I tried adding the cc to the folder called" The sims 4 old" but it didn't work. I have used cc for a long time, ( Yes mods are enabled) 😢

Hi @ILoveCats2020,
So the game works unless you introduce your Mods folder? In that case, you have incompatible mods in that folder, and you will be able to fix your game by finding the faulty mods 🙂
I would recommend reading this article: https://help.ea.com/en-us/help/the-sims/the-sims-4/mods-and-the-sims-4-game-updates/
Let us know if you have any questions! 🙂

@GamerAngieFaye Next you can work on finding out which thing in the old folder was the cause of your issues. The Broken/Updated Mods list is a good resource. The topic How to Use Mods and CC has info on how to test your mods.
