Sims 4 Not Starting with CC (PC)
Heeellooooo, My Sims 4 game will not start when any CC is installed. It comes up with the error Unable to start: Cannot start because required game data is missing or damaged. Please try reinstal...

When you deleted The Sims 4 folder and then slowly replaced every file, did you replace ALL the files or just the saves folder and the mods? I feel like it might be a corrupt cache issue. Can you try out this and see if it helps at all? I usually clear my Sims 4 cache this way when I have CC issues:
1. Navigate to Documents > Electronic Arts
2. Rename The Sims 4 to "The Sims 41"
3. Start a new game, save, and exit
4. Navigate back to Documents > Electronic Arts
5. Open The Sims 41 folder and copy the "saves" folder there
6. Go back and open The Sims 4 folder (this is a new folder that the new game created)
7. Delete the saves and mods folder here
8. Paste the saves folder and mods folder you copied from The Sims 41 here
9. Launch the game again
It might also be worth a shot to leave the Resource.cfg file behind and start wit ha new one, in case it's a sub-folder issue.
