    mikmax2​  Please clear the EA App's cache:

    https://help.ea.com/en-us/help/faq/clear-cache-to-fix-problems-with-your-games/

    and repair the game (Sims 4 > Manage > Repair).  If that doesn't help, open Documents > Electronic Arts > The Sims 4 and delete GameVersion.txt, then try again.

    Samanthabuilds​  Are you getting this specific error, or are you stuck on a loading screen?  If the latter, which loading screen is it, and if it's for a specific save, can you load a different save?  Do you have mods or custom content, and does the game work with your Mods folder removed?

LarissaxBeau​  Try removing your entire Mods folder.  You don't need to save your progress, but this is an important test.
