EA won't launch the game (the sims4)

Hi, I'm having an issue with the Sims 4 launcher. EA shows "preparing the game" but nothing is happening and it returns to the main menu. I looked up any broken mod, but it still won't start even after testing everything. Clearing out the mod folder didn't help either, nor did getting out the whole the sims folder out of documents. Starting through Steam had the same result as well as opening as administrator. Tried cleaning the cache and restarting my laptop multiple times but still nothing. Any advice? :((
