Game not loading after Windows update - Again 🤬

I'm sick of this.  It's always, "disable your mods", etc.  I don't have mods.  I just want to play the game, not be a computer programmer.  I always waste at least a month of my life trying to fix this and lose everything I created only to have to start again.  I'm seriously sick of not being able to count on being able to play the Sims when I click on it.
