I opened my game yesterday morning without an issue but then I restarted the game after an update with my mods enabled and now when I launch the game I just get a black screen and I can't play the game. How can this get fixed?

Without words. I launch the game all I see is The Sims 4 little intro blue screen and then it goes to black. All I can see is an arrow that I can move around. OH, and the little EA pop up that says I can press F1 for an overlay or something.
