Still can't even play
When the update came out before the emergency one, it said my gaming was running in the background. I had just turned on my computer, so i decided to uninstall it, because normally that fixes it and unfortunately it did not. What do I do now?
footloose180 Please try playing in a clean user folder. Move the entire Sims 4 folder out of Documents > Electronic Arts and onto your desktop, and when you launch the game, if it launches, a clean folder will spawn with no content. (Your saves and other content will be intact in the folder you moved but temporarily not read by the game.) Don't add anything to the new folder yet; just let me know whether you can get far enough to start a new save and play in live mode for a bit.
If that doesn't help, please post a screenshot of the error you get when you try to play.
