can’t play at all

hey so uh i played sims couple hours ago and it worked just fine, but when i tried to play it again i couldn’t. steam launched it as usual but it went straight back to the ea app. i tried everything i could find online, such as re-installing the ea app and i used the “ea app updater” thing and it still didn’t work. i also verified the game files (steam) and cleaned the app’s cache (ea app), is there anything else i can try without actually deleting the game? i spent so much time on it and i really don’t want to start over :”)

i saw some people had the same problem from time to time but i noticed there isn’t any solution yet 😭 please help me out
