sims 4 won't launch
I've redownloaded the game and removed all CC AND redownloaded origin and it still only reopens origin if i try to launch the game. Before I uninstalled it would only open if there was custom content...
@adancingirl Please move your entire Sims 4 folder out of Documents\Electronic Arts and onto your desktop. When you launch the game, if it launches, a clean folder will spawn with no content. Don't add anything to it yet; just see whether you can get far enough to start a new save and play in live mode for a bit.
If you still can't open the game, please run a dxdiag and attach it to a post.

Please also let me know what antivirus, if any, you use.
I did this and all my mods are gone thousands of content just gone
@chanicedaviana Do you mean you moved the Sims 4 folder to your desktop? If so, the content isn't gone, it's still intact in the folder you moved, but the game can't read the files where they are now. That's actually the point of this test: to see whether Sims 4 works with no added content. If it does, you can start moving your mods and other content to the new folder in Documents > Electronic Arts, testing as you go and removing anything that prevents the game from loading properly.
