One thing that I found might work for you if you have an Nvidia GPU is switching to the low-performance (in my case, the Intel graphics card). It managed to launch on low graphics settings, if you can try to get into the game to mess with the settings. Go to systems, Display, then graphics (you may have to add the Sims if it is not already on there.) You should then be able to switch your GPU preference. But yeah, I am fairly certain that the update on the fourth broke the game, as I only started having that issue afterwards, and I do not use any mods/CC
Let me know if this works!
