So you're launching the game but then it is quitting again? Could you please disable Origin in-game then try again?

It was a buggy mod. Thank you for your help. I’m glad you got back to me so quickly. Keep doing what you do, and have a nice rest of your day/night.

hi! so this just happened to me.. I deleted all of the CC I downloaded today and took out my mods folder. I even dragged out my Sims 4 folder and tried repairing the game in origin but nothings working.

Hi, so I just downloaded the new Strangerville pack a couple of days ago and I only played it once and the game opened just fine, but I've been trying to open the sims again yesterday and today and nothing has worked. I've gone through this thread and feel as though I've tried everything. I've restarted my laptop (Macbook), made sure my laptop was updated, made sure the sims was updated, repaired the game, disabled origin in game through the game properties, moved the sims and the electronic arts folder onto my desktop, deleted the origin application from my laptop and then reinstalled. Still the game will not open. When I try to open the game, the sims icon shows on my task bar and just bounces up and down for awhile and then just sits there and when I click on it nothing happens. If I could get any help I'd really appreciate it. I'm not sure what else I could do to make the game work. I have NO CC or mods and never have.

Could you both please boot into safe mode and then try launching the game? https://support.apple.com/en-gb/HT201262

But that deleted all of my custom content, and my households. Is there a different solution?

Moving it back won't work

Wait, I have my households back, but no custom content

I repaired and updated my game about 11 or 12 times. It finally worked the last time I repaired it. <3
