I am having a similar issue. The game downloaded fine, but whenever I launch the game, the EA and Maxis logos play, and the game plays the loading music, but it only stays on a white screen. I have removed mods, updated the game, repaired the game, updated my computer, turned it on and off, and nothing is working. I've been trying since 1am EST, so almost 12 hours.
Try resetting your user files as described in the factory reset described in this post: http://answers.ea.com/t5/The-Sims-4/FAQ-Troubleshooting-Steps-amp-Known-Issues/m-p/3621199
You won't loose anything. Just make sure to not delete any files and make a backup.
After renaming, repair your game by right clicking on the game in Origin.
Try on a new game with nothing added back first (start new game). If it works, put back your save game and try again. If it still works, you can start putting stuff back.
- Options.ini (or just re-set all your settings manually)
- Tray Folder
- Screenshots/Videos/Custom music
- Rest of the save games (leave out slot_00000001.save which is the autosave)
- Custom content like clothing, hair, skins, make up ....
- Mods (one by one, making sure they all still work)
The rest does not need putting back, cause they are mostly cache files that recreate or log files that are not needed for the game.

Please help!
I have purchased Sims 4 Cats and Dogs today, I use Origin, and it will not download when you click download. It just zips through it real fast and the option to "download" never goes away.
I have all current updates, no mods and no CC.
I have restarted my comp and hit 'repair' on Sims 4.
why wont it download or install?
Thanks ☹️
