rynlove If you haven't already, please try playing in a clean user folder. Move the entire Sims 4 folder out of Documents > Electronic Arts and onto your desktop. When you launch the game, if it launches, a clean folder will spawn with no content. (Your saves and other content will be intact in the folder you've moved but temporarily unread by the game.) Don't add anything to the new folder yet; just start a new save and see how it runs.
If this doesn't or didn't help, please provide a dxdiag. Click Windows key-R, enter dxdiag in the run box, wait for the scan to finish, click "Save all information," and save the file to your desktop. From there, you can attach it to a reply using the paper clip (Attachment) icon included with the other formatting buttons.
I tried the first thing and it worked. It ran fine, so I slowly added back folders and started the game to see if I could find an issue. I thought I did because I found two folders of cc that were preventing it from launching, however it suddenly went back to the "Failed to launch game" pop up so I'm not so sure what's going on with it.

Same cause it usually it's because of a specific mod or cc but this time it's like its all of them.

this is my issue too!! I was doing the 50/50 method with my CC to find out, and sometimes it would launch, sometimes it wouldn’t - it’s sooooo weird. And sometimes it would launch sometimes and not the next time, how is this game so broken??
