Sims 4 crashes and logs out of game?

I have the Sims 4 plus two expansion packs - Cats and Dogs and Seasons. I am able to launch the game but as soon as I choose a family to play on it loads for about 10-20 seconds like usual and then it just closes and takes me back to Origin where it says I can play the game...

I have tried repairing then restarting my laptop - still does this.

I have updated the game and restarted - still does this.

Is there something wrong with Origin (usually the case)? 

Is there something I can try without uninstalling the game?

If I uninstall the game, will all my gameplay be lost?

Thanks!

  • @82BBRHJLYHWH7JQ3  If you uninstall, your saves should not be deleted.  To be on the safe side though, you can back up the Sims 4 folder in Documents\Electronic Arts; this folder contains all your user data, including saves.

    However, I don't think you necessarily need to uninstall and reinstall the game—there are plenty of other steps you can try first.  Does your computer run Windows or macOS?  Troubleshooting is a bit different in each operating system.

    @puzzlezaddict Thank you for sharing the solution I almost got the same problem I think. Everytime I choose a gameplay or neighborhood, it loads but after a few seconds it comes back to the world zone.
