Haven't been able to load game since Life & Death Update

My game won’t launch. When trying to launch via EA app or via sims 4 shortcut the game opens and flickers from black to white screen a couple of times and then goes to a white screen. 

I've tried repairing the game, uninstalling and installing both the EA app and the game. I’ve removed mods. I’ve even removed the sims 4 folder where you find mods and saves so it had to create a new folder. I've done this multiple times. No luck and still having this issue.
