I have updated my game, the hot fix of March 18th, and my game still doesn't launch with cc installed. I still get the message "Failed to launch game" when cc is installed.
Ideas
Right after the update, my sims game will no longer launch. I've tried everything I can, removing mods, changing settings, and anything else people have suggested; however, no luck. I don't know what to do or if it's happening to anyone else. Please help.
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.
I did the same and got the same results
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??
Also, here's the dxdiag if still needed.
Hi! Ive just tried this (i have a mac) the game loaded just fine. Could you tell me how to now incorporate the cc and file that i moved back into my game ?
I followed the instructions in this post and it still did not work. Here is the dxdiag report
Tried that and my game still didn't open so I downgraded my game version to an older one
I need help
yeah great but then what? I can only play with naked bald sims in their empty houses? i'm so annoyed, i had auto updates off, always play offline, then the day after the update launched my ea app said i had to login again in order to play, then when i logged in it just started updating without asking me </3
I did this and moved my mods folder to my desktop and the game opened fine and I was able to save it with no problem and I turned om script mods and Allow CC in the settings. Now what am I supposed to do with my mods folder? And what's the new folder name it created since the game is working
