Sims 4 unable to start

If anyone has the solution to this problem please do reply below.

So last night I went onto the options section ( on Sims 4) and on the settings I switch the mods on, because I wanted to download some CC. So then I had to restart the game for the changes to take place. However when I pressed play on the sims 4 a notification comes up saying "unable to start, cannot start because the below file appears to be corrupted. If this file is a mode please remove it and try again. If not, please repair or reinstall the game via origin." :s

It also shows the link of the file that is supposedly corrupted but i have checked all my folders and I can't find the CC that is supposedly corrupted.
I have repaired my game on origin, uninstalled it and installed it back again,checked the system for any possible updates, I downloaded CCleaner and had it analyse and clean any bugs but still whenever I press play the error notification comes up and I cant go onto The Sims 4.

I have had CC previously but it caused the same problems so I just didn't play Sims for a while and it just started working fine (don't know what triggered this). Since then I have never considered having CC in my game until last night when I turned mods on. I hadn't downloaded CC I just turned mods on and restarted my game and now there's this error that wont let me onto the game. :'(

So if anyone knows how to switch off mods whilst not on the game, please could you share your solution it would really mean a lot. :)
