Sims 4 launching but disappearing?

I just reinstalled sims with all its packs, and entirely new cc. I was trying to launch it for the first time since downloading, and it WILL launch, but no window will appear and it is not present on my hotbar.

If i try launching it again, I get an error message that says I already have the game open.

any advice?? this is getting mighty frustrating

    Try to uninstall and install again.  That helped mine.  Make sure that you do not have a duplicate of the app somewhere. 

  • squemmily  Does the game launch without your Mods folder?  Please test and let me know.  You don't need to save your progress.

    For the error that the game is already open, restart your computer.  Alternately, open the Task Manager and end any process that belongs to Sims 4 or the EA App, including in the background processes list.
