Failed to launch error/Fully Black Screen when using CC

im gonna disable all my mods again and see how my cas looks and live mode bulid mode etc and see if its good  Edit: its good so idk if its my mods or EA bc before the updates my games were fine so idk and its not just me so i think its EA 

I have the same problem but its said cant lunch the game because Something on our part 

Mine is doing the same and I also repaired the game even clearned the EA cache BUT when I removed my mods folder and started the game it did load, so I assume it's a mod thats broken and it's conflicting with whatever starts the game up.

What worked for me was removing my mods folder (just move it to your desktop), launch the game (DO NOT LAUNCH ANY SAVES WITH CC OR MODS), closing the game, moving the mod folder back into the game, and then launching again. Somehow this worked for me. Also make sure you've cleared the cache on the EA app (three lines in the corner > Help > App Recovery).

Edit: Tried it again not even 10 minutes later and it doesn't work anymore. Seems to just be happening with my CC since when i take out just CC and leave all my mods (my mods are up-to-date) the game still launches fine. Seems like I'll have to play CC free for now :( . I honestly wouldnt be surprised if EA broke all external CC on purpose to push the marketplace even further.

There’s no fix, they didn’t patch anything. Half of the CC are still not working in the sims, it’s the game’s problem. We need another patch so they’ll fix ALL the CC, they failed to do even that. March 18 update was completely useless

Nothing is working. I've done every step they would tell us to do. Removed the folder and created a new one. repaired. was able to get in twice but had gotten in but had black main menu screens. removed broken ui's, nothing. 

I'm so mad about this. My game worked yesterday. I'm filming a machinima for my very small channel that heavily relies on CC, some of which I worked hard on to be accurate, and now I can't work on it! I hope this is not permanent and they fix this or several players will be pissed. It's likely due to the addition of Marketplace that the mods folder isn't working right / is the cause of this (my game was able to launch without mods active right after the update, and when I checked to activate mods and CC, I got the same error as you). I really hope they figure it out cause lots of Mod and CC creators/users will not be happy. Like this is a collection I've been building up on for years.

EDIT: I managed to fix it last night by updating certain script mods especially UI cheats. But NOW, a day later, I'm getting the ERROR AGAIN when I have CC in the mods folder! Just CC and no script mods! When just yesterday it could launch WITH CC! I really thought it was fixed but now the issue is back!!

This is what im talking about 

This was the child before

This was the mom

This was the dad with the daughter a bit hard to see the dad

I have the exact same issue. I waited until after the second hotfix to update, removed all mods, verified game files on Steam and cleared cache in the EA app. No mods in the mod folder. The game starts to load, the first loading screen appears and then shuts down 30 secs later saying there is an issue with the EA app on their end. I tried 5 times. The game was working fine in offline mode yesterday afternoon.This is unacceptable. What do you suggest as a solution?

Can confirm, having this same issue. Did all the steps, hell, even went to ChatGPT to ask some troubleshooting. Scanned my mods through Modhound, went to all the sites to confirm updates. All my mods and cc should be good to go. However, it won't even launch with them. I have played the sims since 2001 and I have never been THIS tired of them.
