@beyondboned Try forcing the game to launch in windowed mode. Go into Documents > Electronic Arts > The Sims 4, open Options.ini, search for fullscreen , and set it to 0 (zero).
Please also try launching both Steam and the EA App as an admin before pressing Play. Right-click each desktop shortcut and select "Run as administrator."
If that doesn't help, please confirm that your Steam and EA accounts are properly linked. Load any EA site (this one is fine) in a private browser window, click the login button, and sign in using your Steam credentials. If you land in the correct EA account, the two are linked. If anything else happens, let me know.
When you've installed Sims 4 through Steam, you won't have the option to repair in the EA App. Instead, you can repair through Steam: open your Steam library, right-click the Sims 4 tile, and select Properties > Local files > Verify integrity of the game files.
