The Sims 4 STILL wont launch after latest patch 04/2026

the error screen

My Sims 4 game wont launch after the March 17th-18th Patch 2026 

So every time i try and play The Sims 4 it comes up with this error message: An error on our end caused the launch to fail. Try again a little later. 

This has been going on since the latest patch and i am completely stuck, I have contacted EA support, I have read every forum post i can find, reddit, youtube videos ETC.

I am not a new simmer and have been playing The Sims 4 for 11 years and have managed to navigate every issue myself until this one, I will put everything I have tried below:

I cleared the cache, removed ALL mods and CC, used the repair game function twice and factory reset my game by uninstalling and reinstalling - removing any files from my hard drive and doing a full PC clean, I also uninstalled OneDrive as i heard that can cause issues

My game is now a shell, completely vanilla, no mods or anything, no saves or screenshots, clear cache and this error comes up every time. Please help! ❤️
