Unable to start The Sims 4.

I can't start up The Sims 4 through the EA app or clicking on the shortcut on my PC.

I have tried repairing it on the EA app, I have uninstalled everything regarding the game from my computer and reinstalled it. Tried repairing it again. Uninstalled everything, shut off my computer, turned it back on, redownloaded, and it still wont start. I have been trying, with no luck, for almost a month now. I'm at my wit's end...

I don't have any mods or CC, I never have. I only have the add-ons sold on the EA store. I've never had any issues with it in the last almost 10 years of owning the game.

  • I’m having the same issue currently, but I do not get an error code. Whenever I try to start through steam, it opens EA launcher, then EA launcher tries to start the game and the whole application enters a crash loop. 

    edit: I have verified the integrity of game files, uninstalled and reinstalled multiple times, still no good.
