I can't get my sims4 to work

The game used to work fine but one day, it won't load into the game after the loading page. 

I tried switching to Steam which did not work, and I also tried erasing all the files from Electronic Arts, EA app, Steam app and the Sims4 game itself. I downloaded everything again and it still won't work. 

I just don't see why... 

of course there are no mods and cc folders too cuz I obviously erased all the files on Electronic Arts. 

Please do help me I just wanna relax and have fun after work and it is driving me nuts. 

crashing
downloads
ea app
expansion packs
game packs

    wnfl882​  You could have a conflict between two mods, or you could have a mod that only creates a problem in some situations.

    For a conflict, do the 50/50 method again to find one of the mods that isn't working.  But you can't test each half/quarter/etc. separately; you need to test them together so you see the evidence of the conflict, then narrow things down to one of the mods that's a problem.  You're looking for a mod that, when added to the other mods in place, makes the game stop working; but removing only that mod makes the game work fine again.  Once you find that one, test your other mods against it—leave that one mod in place and 50/50 the rest to find the one it conflicts with.

    If the problem is a single mod, but only in certain contexts, figure out what those contexts are, then test your mods in that specific context until you find the culprit.

    Regardless of the exact nature of the problem, you've established pretty well that the cause is something in your Mods folder.
