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
I have been playing sims for about 20 years and I have to say I'm very disappointed right now. Ever since the new update my game will not load about 90% of its CC that I have spent YEARS collecting and now the game will not even launch. Some of the CC content I have paid for through patron and not to mention all the money I have spent in EA to play sims 4. Are there any solutions to this issue? I've tried to do multiple things to see if is would fix the issue. Obviously I have had no success.
Hi! I had the exact same problem after the latest patch, and I managed to fix it. Here’s what worked for me:
- The update corrupted a few CC package files.
- Even ONE broken file can stop the whole game from launching.
- I fixed it by testing my Mods folder in small batches until I found the corrupted files.
- After removing those, the game loaded all my CC normally again.
It’s a bit time‑consuming, but it really works. If your game won’t launch at all, start by testing half of your CC, then narrow it down. I found only 3 bad files out of a lot of package, and everything is working now.
Hope this helps — you can definitely fix it too!
