"An error on our end caused the launch to fail. Try again a little later"

Hi,

I have problems with the Sims 4. The game launches and crashes and I get the message "An error on our end caused the launch to fail. Try again a little later".

I have never used mods before until yesterday when I installed a few that my friend recommended. The game worked fine yesterday with the mods but today when i bought Royalty & Legacy this problem accured.

First the game lanuched but I couldn't create a new family and my savefiles from before didn't work. I removed the mods first from the Mod map,  same problem. I removed the whole mod map, same problem.

I then tested clear cashe in the EA launcher and deleted the localthumbcache file. None of this worked and I got a message saying "simsbud error 00000008:00000000000000c8".

I have tried to uninstall and reinstall both the EA Launcher and The Sims. I have tried to restart my computer. I have checked my antivirus and both EA Launcher and The Sims are whitelisted.

I have disabled the EA Launcher overlay.... is the only option to factory reset my PC or does anyone have any other idea?
