Sims 4 won't startup/launch

okay this problem has gotten to the point where I've been in tears from stress and everything. Every time I go to launch the Sims 4, nothing shows. Like in the processes through task manager it appears but no window or anything opens.

I've tried literally every suggestion thrown at me but nothing seems to work. The game hasn't worked for a good 4-5 days now.

Then I randomly went to play it again today and it worked for a while. Then I got off the game and came back to play it and now it doesn't work anymore. I don't know what to do.

Please someone help me

Update: Sims 4 randomly worked this morning then I played for a while, quit playing for an hour or two and tried replaying again not long ago and it doesn't start up -w-

Actually I was able to troubleshoot myself and found a solution.
When launching Origin right click on top of the Sims 4 game and select the option "Game Property"
It will show a pop up with a check box option of "Disable Origin in Game for this game" make sure you marked this option as selected
Open the Sims 4
Problem solved for me.

At this stage, I advise that you contact an advisor who should be able to move you on to advanced troubleshooting steps.
