Sims 2 Ultimate Collection not starting up

Hi so I have had my sims 2 ultimate collection game for quite a while now but around a year ago when the new EA app was launched and replaced origin it just stopped working completely. It just would not start up again at all. I have tried reinstalling the game, fixing the game through the EA app, reinstalling the graphics rules maker, deleting all mods but nothing seems to work at all.

I quite literally just click the game in my library to launch and it looks like its about to launch, the EA app disappears, and then immediately I can tell nothing actually happens and that's it.

I am really puzzled and have no idea where to even begin.

  • @mikolajpatyna The most common cause for this is the corrupted cache file that prevents the game from opening. Please go to Documents\EA Games\The Sims 2 Ultimate Collection\ and delete Groups.cache and Accessory.cache files.

    If this does not help, please take out The Sims 2 Ultimate Collection folder from Documents\EA Games\ and try launching the game to see if it will generate a fresh user folder.
