Unable to start: Cannot start because game data is missing or damaged. If you have Mods installed please remove them and try again. If not, please repair or reinstall the game via origin.
I don't use the Origin launcher/app, I'm using the EA App. I removed my mods a few months ago so I don't know why the game won't lanch or start. I don't have the option to repair the game or click play both of these options are not available. Please help!
Thank you.

@charsem I've merged your post with the master thread for this error message. Please try the suggestions in the first post on page one.
If you've installed Sims 4 through Steam, you'd need to repair through Steam. The option is called "verify integrity of the game files" and should be somewhere under Properties.
Ive already tries everything I found in the forum Answers HQ. Today I accessed my laptop and I no longer see my EA App and Sims 4 Icon on my Desktop. What d I need to do next? Can I try to go thrugh EA app and try to reinstall my Sims 4 game?
I accessed the EA App launcher and reinstalled the app. I was going to unistall the game and re-install but don't have an option to reinstall if I uninstall the game. How can install my Sims 4 game again? BTW, I received the same Unable to start the Sims 4 message that i sent to you earlier.
@charsem If you uninstall Sims 4, you should be able to reinstall it again afterwards. Are you not seeing that option? If not, please post a screenshot or two of what you do see.
