There is quick fix for it that worked!
For that, please go to Documents > Electronic Arts > Sims 4 Folder > Rename the folder Sims 4_old > Relauch the game.
Caused due to issue with game saves file
Thank you!
It worked for about 6 minutes and then it just stopped. It loads and loads but nothing happens! Starting to go crazy! So if anyone knows why this is, please help me!!
@GamingGirl365 Did you follow the advises in the link provided on the first page in this thread? I will paste it again:

Renaming your The Sims 4 folder only creates a new folder with nothing added to it, since the game cannot read the old folder when it is named differently than: "The Sims 4". Your saves and builds etc are still in the renamed folder. You can paste them into the newly created folder when you get your game running again. Here is a longer description. Don't move over your old files to the new folder until you have followed the advises in the first link.

@Ettegirl Could you please also rename your The Sims 4 folder, like described here:

Don't move back your old files yet. First follow the advises in this thread, and if it doesn't work, state what you tried.

You are a genius! I was about to just total pull the plug and never play the Sims again! For others reading this, I have a Mac and started getting this error message after upgrading my OS to Catalina, I did what everyone else was saying to try with no luck (including EA), THIS WORKED!!! Thanks again!
