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
Like a lot of simmers, I am unable to use mods in the game if I want it to open but Mods and CC made my game SO much better. I did all the repairs, cashe, and even rain a check for my mods and cc, in which any that needed updating were and it shows none broken. So right now, my mod folder sits on my desktop. How long do we have to wait till we can play with Mods and cc again?
I'm SO disappointed in the Sims team and their developers. These updates broke so much. No one wanted a marketplace. The game is 5 years + old- that is crazy work to be asking us now to pay for an older game. I already bought it-let me play how I want to play!
Oh, is this due to the recent patch? I did not yet update, and seriously depending on CC I now hesitate patching at all. Do you know if this is a general problem, or only affecting a few smmers? I did not see it mentioned earlier.
I wouldn't update and would continue monitoring the forums until things are fixed. There was a CC issue after the March 17 patch that was supposedly fixed in a March 18 hot patch, but there is another, worse issue, preventing the game from launching at all. That one seems somewhat widespread, enough that you shouldn't chance it, and is effecting both cc and vanilla users, even after installs. Some are able to fix things after excessive effort, others do the same steps and nothing works. There's supposed to be an update this coming week, but I wouldn't trust it until people have had a chance to try it and see if it fixes things.
There is thousands of Simmers who can`t play right now!
Greed of EA is the cause for the crash.They keep lying and saying that everything was fixed with the March 18 update. They should have just released the Marketplace update as a console-only update—it’s a total disaster for PC/Mac players. They’re telling us to remove some mods and buy cc from the Marketplace—no way, I’ve already spent a fortune on your packages, and I’m not paying 5 pounds for a couple of pimples patch on the CC. They just need to remove the update for PC players. What greed...
I found out that resetting your game solves a lot of the issues with mods, the main problem for me is my old tray files and saves now that my mods are working again. I don't wanna remake my favorite sims from scratch and redownload all my old builds off the gallery again.

Apparently the folder itself was the problem and my old saves and tray files are making the game "fail to launch" and I'm frustrated. I'm heavily reliant on the sims 4 for storytelling purposes and mental health management, and now I can't even use my favorite sims that I spent all my time and energy working on in my games. And considering I have depression and don't have that much energy to do anything to begin with, that's pretty significant.
I'm having the same issue, my old tray files are totally glitched even with no mods added. Luckily, I can load and so forth, but they are showing signs of corruption..
I'll continue to monitor this in the morning. Maybe there's a fix for this and the mods. For now, I have to go. My great-uncle who I barely knew just died and my second cousin had a stroke. I need to support my mom and the rest of my family who were closer to them both.
