Game Wont Load.

Im genuinely frustrated. I haven't played my game since April 23rd. Every time I try to launch my game, it blinks black and white about four times then goes white and my mouse turns into this blue circle like its trying to load. I ultimately have to restart my computer when this happens. I have tried repairing the game. Ive tried uninstalling EA and reinstalling it. Ive tried uninstalling Sims4 and reinstalling it. Ive even went as far as to reset my entire computer. Ive deleted every mod as well as cc off my computer. I dont know what to do. I have 40 add ons for the sims 4 &' my computer is completely compatible. I dont understand whats wrong.

    im having same probelm past 3 days and from what i can see some others are also. commenting to see if you found a solution?

  • I've actually had this problem before and worked for about a month to get my game playable. However, I was getting an error code last time. Now I am just getting a white screen and nothing happens.

    Last time it turned out to be a problem with my laptop using OneDrive. I wanted to download more custom content, and tried to disconnect my OneDrive to allow myself to have more space for mods. This created a problem when it would try and launch but the game was in the now deleted OneDrive folder. In the end, I couldn't get it to work until I created a separate user on my laptop and even still, it was a bit touch and go.

    Today when I went to launch CurseForge after my laptop updated to scan for mod updates, it said it couldn't find my game. Upon opening the EA app, it confirmed the game wasn't on my computer at all. I reinstalled but now I'm getting this white screen. 

    I don't understand why EA won't just let us play the darn game! I feel like I need to get a degree in IT to play this game sometimes... Hoping a few more hours tomorrow of playing around with it will let me back on.
