Sims 4 wont launch

I had this problem for a long time, but I managed to fix it. It was a problem with my some of my mods so I deleted them, but today I downloaded some more mods and the game stopped launching. So then I deleted those mods and it still wouldn't launch. I literally have no idea what's wrong with my game.. I've reinstalled both EA and the sims 4 game on steam (where I launch it from), but EA just refreshes every time I launch it. I've literally done every fix I can think of, clear EA's cache, restart it, reinstall, I've even restarted my computer and uninstalled everything yet it never launches. No youtube videos are helpful and no forum posts have helped my problem either.

  • I took all my mods out and have done the same and still it only loads to showing the sims name and a little music then crash. No error codes or anything.

  • Never mind, figured it out... had a mod from 2015 lol

    @nyashab13 Do you have mods or CC in your Mods folder? If so, do a "vanilla" test to see if a mod/CC is your problem: Move (not copy) the Mods folder to the desktop (or rename it), delete the file called localthumbcache, open the game to test, and exit without saving. If that works, start at Broken/Updated Mods & CC . This post has lots of userful info for you too: How to Use Mods and CC
