Failed to launch error/Fully Black Screen when using CC

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

blavadinho67​ I'm glad you can get in some of the time! EA is testing a fix for the Failed to Launch issue. I'm moving you to the bug report for that. (It wasn't a visible issue until this one was fixed!). Please see the pinned message at the top of that post, and upvote to help EA understand the number of people affected.

What worked for me - go offline in the EA app (I play in Steam) and then start the game. Game starts right away. Give it a try? Full mods folder here.

Hi! I just wanted to follow up on my previous comment. At first I really thought some CC in my Mods folder had been corrupted by the patch, because removing everything actually let my game load again. So I assumed the issue was caused by “bad CC” and tried to help based on that.

Unfortunately, I later realized the problem wasn’t CC-related at all. Even after completely cleaning my Mods folder and rebuilding it from scratch, the issue came back exactly the same. So yes — I learned the hard way that this is a game bug, not a CC problem.

Sorry for the confusion. I genuinely thought I had found something useful, but I ended up in the same loop as everyone else. Fingers crossed for an official fix soon.

Had a thought, isnt the marketplace breaking the EA TOU? they deem all cc should be free for everyone; however, the marketplace is a place that cc creators put their creations and EA is making you buy tokens to purchase this cc. Just a thought.
