@TayloQT I found that out. I tried everything that was suggested and nothing worked. Hopefully the new “patch” that they have said is coming next week will help.

@dadnwpg09 I hope so but that's doubtful as EA has seemed to have only acknowledged the crashing issues and not the "My game won't start, no error message" issue xd

[dadnwpg09]

@TayloQT This is true! Smh

My origin and Sims 4 are both downloaded but when I click play to start origin, my screen goes away from origin (to whatever tab behind) and then goes back without opening sims. Please help!

@dadnwpg09 Try this for Avast: https://crinrict.com/blog/2020/10/add-exceptions-to-anti-virus-programs.html

You should only use one Antivirus program at the time or they can conflict. Turn off defender if you're using avast.

@RobynLaveau Checking. I'll get back to you

@baguettesandpast Merged your post with the master, could  try suggestions on the first page

@TayloQT Sorry, but I'm at wits end with your issue. Hopefully puzzles has more ideas when she's back

I really need your help! Since the Nov update my game will not load. I get no error. I spent almost an hour with EA tech who could not fix issue and stated I would have to wait till patch fix for patch update. I am technically challenged and have no idea what else to do. Here is what I have done so far:

Removed mods folder

Uninstalled and reinstalled origin

removed origin from gameplay

repaired game

disarmed firewall

removed caches

Removed sims4 folder from game to generate new folders

I have all EP except star wars, All GP and all SP. I have never had any issues with Sims 4 on this computer until this update. Would really appreciate your help

[TayloQT]

@tigerlillysim Have you tried all these yet: https://answers.ea.com/t5/Technical-Issues-PC/CURRENT-ISSUE-Sims-4-doesn-t-start-No-Error-Message-Pa... ?

What Antivirus software are you using ?
