so for the last 24 hours or so, everytime I try to Launch my game it keeps coming up with “An error on our end caused the launch to fail, try a little later.” But obviously it HAS been a little later and I don’t know what to do or how to fix it.
I am getting exactly the same problem. However my PC is telling me that the game wants access to my protected files on the computer and is seeing it as a threat. It is preventing the game from making changes. This is ever since I purchased the Inspired by Nature add on. So annoyed by it as I've spent a lot of money on the game for it to stop working and start affecting my computer. I am playing on a PC

Your antivirus blocking the game from starting can cause this issue as well. Look for any recent actions involving Sims 4 or the EA App, and set exceptions/exclusions as necessary. The exceptions should be for TS4_x64, TS4_DX9_x64, and TS4_Launcher_x64, or the Bin folder they're in; set one for EADesktop.exe as well while you're there.
This article has instructions for Windows Defender and a couple of common third-party programs:

If your antivirus isn't covered, consult the publisher's online documentation for instructions. A search for "[antivirus name] set exception" will probably find a user manual.
