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

My daughter is Neurodivergent and loves playing Sims 4 its helps her to organise her thoughts in a calm setting which she can design and control.  With literally over 2,000 hours of game play already clocked in her account alone so when we cannot open the game anymore its not only a pain but its also heart breaking. 

No matter what we do we get this message over and over  "An error on our end caused the launch to fail. Try again later".

We've uninstalled everything game and app, reinstalled both again with and without mods yet we continue to get the same issue whenever we try to launch Sims 4. 

We suspect that the latest update maybe the issue but we cannot un-update or use a previous updated version as we cannot find these anywhere.  

Help please!

If your having the same issue please post a reply just saying "Same Here"  if it is an update issue then hopefully they will fix this problem if enough of us highlight it.

    I'm also having this issue. I tried repairing the game but noting works. I'm adding a screenshot of the error message to my comment.

    I've had the same problem for over 2 weeks. Very annoying.

    Same here! I've gotten rid of custom mods, troubleshooted the EA app two different ways & I still get the same error message. I was actually playing about 2 days ago just fine & when I tried to launch the game the following day, the error message popped up. It's so frustrating!

  • I've literally tried every help topic there is on Google and YouTube to try and fix this issue and nothing is working.  You would have thought that EA would have made an announcement if it was or is them, but there is nothing.  

    If only inZOI had build functions oh wait it does.   Although Sims is my daughters preferred platform the longer this goes on I've a feeling that we're be moving away from EA at this rate

    Same, I assume it has something to do with the severs being overwhelmed with Battlefield 6 players.
