Re: Game wont launch

If you haven't already, try these troubleshooting tips:

1. Deactivate Origin In-Game - In Origin from the menu select Origin > Application Settings. Select the Origin in-game tab. Make sure the box for it is turned off.

2. Try moving your mods folder to the desktop then try your game again. If it starts, that means you'll need to go through your mods folder to see which mods or custom content that needs to be updated. There was a game update earlier this month that made a lot of mods and cc outdated.

3. Try playing the game in Offline mode. ‌In Origin, from the menu select Origin and select Go Offline.

4. Start the game in Windowed mode. In Origin, right click on Sims 4 and select Game Properties. Add -w to the Command Line Argument field.

5. Try Repairing the game. - Right-click on Sims 4, and select Repair.
