I can't run sims 4 on laptop

I haven't turned on my laptop for a few days and I haven't played the sims 4, today when I tried to start the game, it gets halfway through loading and kicks me out of the game. Has this happened to anyone else?🙃

    Crashes on Mainmenu | EA Forums - 12139111

    If it doesn't help, please try playing in a clean user folder.  Move the entire Sims 4 folder out of Documents > Electronic Arts and onto your desktop.  When you launch the game, a clean folder will spawn with no content.  (Your saves and other content will be intact in the folder you've moved but temporarily unread by the game.)  Don't add anything to the new folder yet; just start a new save and see how it runs.

    If you still can't play, please provide a dxdiag.  Click Windows key-R, enter dxdiag in the run box, wait for the scan to finish, click "Save all information," and save the file to your desktop.  From there, you can attach it to a reply using the paper clip (Attachment) icon included with the other formatting buttons.
