Thankyou!

EA_David - If anyone has the same issue as me, where none of the basic troubleshooting steps resolve the issue, then they should uninstall the game and reinstall it.
Then, run both of the redist packages. It should work. It worked for me.
Sometimes it gets corrupted game side during the installation process.
Sorry what are these Redist packages?
Origin Games\The Sims 4\__Installer\vc\vc2013\redist
vcredist_x86.exe
vcredist_x64.exe

Visual C++ Redistributable Packages for Visual Studio 2013
The Redist packages are the things that allow certain applications (built on C++ I believe) to run.
So, if you are interested in installing them, they can be found in your game folder.
Just navigate to your game folder -> Click _Installer -> Click vc -> Click vc2013 -> Click Redist - > Then run both applications (x64 and x86).
They can also be found here if you need to download them: http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=40784
Edit: Thanks Woot, you beat me to it.
