SIMS 4 UPDATE BROKE GAME?
Ok so I have Sims 4 on Steam, I updated the game as the new patch dropping on the 30th of May is coming out. I tried to open the game and it loaded up an EA APP "Preparing game" popup then closed and...

@puzzlezaddict I made a different account and testing it on the EA App instead of Steam. Only fear is that I would lose my DLC packs if it works. Will update you once tested. Also I have a firewall via Cortex XDR and a VPN named Global Protect. Both things let the game run before but it seemed after this patch update it doesn't run anymore
@Awsomepowers Please disable your firewall and your VPN, and try again. When the game works once but not afterwards, it's usually a permissions issue, whether from security software or something else. And the EA App doesn't respond well to VPNs, although it doesn't necessarily block them all the time.
You may need to repair Sims 4 after disabling the software and before trying to launch the game again.
