I haven’t been able to get on my game since last week, after I updated my game. Every time I try it glitches then crashes. Then it says..
Unable to start:
Initialization error at start up.
[135dec40:5980684:00000078:37b26003]
I’ve done everything. I’ve repaired it so many times, reinstalled it twice, removed all mods and CC and updated my NVIDIA. I’m truly at a loss on what to do.

I REALLY WISH I COULD HELP SO BAD COS I HAD AN ISSUE LIKE THIS RECENTLY AND I JS KEPT DOING ANY AND EVERYTHING TILL I GOT IT TO WORK AGAIN BUT MAYBE TRY UPDATIN XML INJECTOR IF YOU HAVENT OR CHANGE THE NAME OF YOUR SIMS 4 FOLDER, LOAD THE GAME AND SEE WHAT HAPPENS.
keishie Do you still need help? The initialization error is typically related to an overly-protective antivirus, so try setting exceptions in yours for TS4_x64, TS4_DX9_x64, and TS4_Launcher_x64, or the entire Bin folder they're in. Set one for EADesktop.exe while you're there.
You may need to repair the game (EA App > Sims 4 > Manage > Repair) as well.
Yes, unfortunately I still haven't been able to start the game. I have done all that was suggested.
