Sims 4 won't start. I get a loading circle, and then it goes back to Origin.

Hi! 

This is actually the first time I have problems with The Sims 4. 

When I click on the game in the Origin menu, it acts like it's going to load (loading circle, Origin closes, I see just my desktop), but then my computer does some weird things and Origin appears again. This happens every time I try to load the Sims today. 

What causes this? Could it be that I have too much CC, and the game can't handle it? Or is it just Origin being Origin?

    It should help.

    However the Cats & Dogs Expansion (due out soon) has higher Minimum requirements. This is just speculation but perhaps the latest patch included some updates needed for that expansion and that raised the requirements. Only a person from EA would be able to answer that though.

    Alright, thank you very much! I'll delete some CC I never use and then I'll see what it does.

    Okay! So I had the same problem not to long ago. I fixed it. If you had mods, take them out of your folder so they won't mess the game up. Repair the game. If it doesn't work, here are some more options: Update it or uninstall it and reinstall. Hope I helped! C;

    Does anybody have a fix for this yet? It just started happening to me after downloading Cats and Dogs. It originally told me one of my CC"s needed to be removed, which I did. And then I tried to play the game again and it had a loading circle and went straight back to origin. I removed my mods folder and the game loaded fine. I put it back and the problem started again. I put the original mod (the one it told me was the problem) back into the mod folder, and again it told me it was corrupt so I removed again, but it didn't fix the problem. I'm at a loss. Pretty angry that the new update messed up a ton of mods, and now after purchasing the expansion pack, I can't even open the game.
