This is the first time I have ever had an issue with launching the Sims 4 on my PC. Game updated July 1 and since then I have not been able to get it up and running. I keep getting an error code saying the game is unable to start initialization error at start up [135dec40:29f00e76:00000084:18a1dd51]. I have no mods and have repaired the game and still receiving the code.  Anyone have any idea what is happening and how to fix it? I'm super bummed :/

    Same for me but this is the second time it happens. Last time I sent an error report to EA and after a week or two was the game working again. Now after the latest update it happens again so I'm going to send a new error report. 

    I have played the Sims 4 since the game was new on the market and I have never had this type of issue with the game after an update before. It's really annoying
