Game isn’t even loading

It’s crazy that ever since this update, my game has completely crashed and won’t even load!! I’ve done everything in my power to get this dang game to load and NOTHING works!! It says EA and The Sims 4 are both online but obviously not… :( PLEASE EA fix the game! !

  • CG2234​  If you haven't already, please try playing in a clean user folder.  Move the entire Sims 4 folder out of Documents > Electronic Arts and onto your desktop.  When you launch the game, if it launches, a clean folder will spawn with no content.  (Your saves and other content will be intact in the folder you've moved but temporarily unread by the game.)  Don't add anything to the new folder yet; just start a new save and see how it runs.

    If you get another crash, please provide a dxdiag.  Click Windows key-R, enter dxdiag in the run box, wait for the scan to finish, click "Save all information," and save the file to your desktop.  From there, you can attach it to a reply using the paper clip (Attachment) icon included with the other formatting buttons.
