Sims 4 - Unable to start Initialization error at startup

Having some sort of error code saying "Unable to Start, Initialization error at startup & then a long error code. This is really frustrating.

FIXED!
I had to uninstall Origin completely and delete the folders. Once I reinstalled the game worked.

"Initialize error: Please try starting the game as administrator or in compatibility mode. Also try windowed mode: http://sims4.crinrict.com/en/2014/02/start-game-in-windowed-mode/"

I just tried all 3 and still get the same error it just goes to a window now before giving me the error.

Ditto here. Game simply doesn't want to start with either option. The only difference following the window mode is that the screen isn't going black.
