Didn't work in offline mode.
The game just stays showing in process via task manager but the game never opens
Did you try clicking on the process itself and choose change too (or whatever the english term would be)

Some more random suggestions but I'll see if someone else has more ideas
- Force Game to start in Windowed mode: http://sims4.crinrict.com/en/2014/02/start-game-in-windowed-mode/
- Try deactivating Origin In Game: http://sims4.crinrict.com/en/2014/09/deactivate-origin-in-game/
- If you haven't tired, start Origin as administrator
- Check on your firewall/antivirus if they are blocking the process from running
- Run Process Monitor and check what process run while you start the game: https://technet.microsoft.com/de-ch/sysinternals/bb896645.aspx

Please try Crin's steps, and if the issue persists please try running a malware scan on your machine in case there's a nasty culprit somewhere.
If you still have no luck, try checking for Windows updates.

I have the latest things installed for windows and tried all of his suggestions but to no avail.
I uninstalled once again the game, then it worked but once I hit save, it saved then I went to reopen it and it doesn't work again

casual stuff like internet, antivirus(which I don't believe is the problem because it runs when I play sims 3 and there's no problems), Sims 4 and a couple other things. Nothing really foreign/ nothing that isn't supposed to

I take it yesterday's update didn't help with anything either ?
Sims 3 and Sims 4 are different though because of Origin so you might wanna whitelist ts4.exe and origin.exe

The update didn't help either
