Error: Cannot start because the required game data is missing or damaged. Please try reinstalling the game. [85262c58:29f00e76:00000000]
I keep getting that message even if I reinstall the game.
I tried deleting origins cache files, but that did not work.
It is the limited version and my game is not cracked.
I haven't played it on the computer yet so there are no files in the Sims 4 folder in Documents\Electronic Arts.
I did already install and play this game on another computer, is it possible that the game won't start because my origin account is linked to a computer with different (higher) specs?
cannot think of anything else...
How do I fix this?
Solved! Go to Solution.

In most cases it's a corrupt custom content or you have just downloaded a recolor and lack the mesh.
On Win 10, it can also be an issue with rights
Few things to try

This error is usually due to corrupt user files.

That folder , the Sims 4 folder in Documents\Electronic arts, was never created since I have never been able to actually start the game.

Hello
I had this problem too. But I fixed it.
In my case it was connected with the custom content. I looked through the latest cc files I've added and tried removing them one by one to see, which file is corrupted. I found a surniture set, removed it and game is back on. Try this, I hope it will help
