Game wont launch

My sims game was working fine and a few weeks ago it crashed.Origin starts to load the game and then it goes back to origin and where it says last played it is the current date. I use cc and when the game last updated (like all updates) the cc and mods were disabled. After the update my game launched but when I enabled the mods and cc again I had the same problem but even when I take out the cc the game won't start plz help!!!

If you haven't already, try these troubleshooting tips:
1. Deactivate Origin In-Game - In Origin from the menu select Origin > Application Settings. Select the Origin in-game tab. Make sure the box for it is turned off.
2. Try moving your mods folder to the desktop then try your game again. If it starts, that means you'll need to go through your mods folder to see which mods or custom content that needs to be updated. There was a game update earlier this month that made a lot of mods and cc outdated.
3. Try playing the game in Offline mode. ‌In Origin, from the menu select Origin and select Go Offline.
4. Start the game in Windowed mode. In Origin, right click on Sims 4 and select Game Properties. Add -w to the Command Line Argument field.
5. Try Repairing the game. - Right-click on Sims 4, and select Repair.
