My Sims 4 game fails to start (no errors)

[GraceAndLucy]

I have the same problem, but with a Mac. It worked when I first loaded it, but now nothing.

I bought the game yesterday, so I'm trying for a refund now. 

Does anyone have the steps to fix with Mac

The Mac forum is here: http://answers.ea.com/t5/The-Sims-Mac/bd-p/The-Sims-Mac

Has lots of good sticky threads you can read (or ask there)

here is what fixed my problem

open up task manager

closes everything for origin and sims

open up origin

my issue was I had an update but I was downloading a game.

all I had to do was swap the download for the update and sims was working fine after the update.

I'm having a similar problem: i click sims it redirects me to origin and the game doesn't come up, so i click play in origin and it just redirects back to origin. I have tried the solutions in this thread and NONE have worked and im really worried because i love this game and now i finally have more time to play it decides to screw up WHY ME

I'm having the exact same problem. It's 2020 and it still doesn't work. I have uninstalled and reinstalled, repaired over and over again. It worked when i last played it in the fall and now? Nothing. I have spent almost $200 on this game and I cannot play it. None of the solutions here have helped. EA PLEASE FIX YOUR GAME.

Hi @Miragaming37,

This is unlikely to be caused by the same factors as back then and would be best starting a new/current thread for this. Please feel free to get the ball rolling on that by opening a new one and adding more information about what you're experiencing. I'll lock this thread in the meantime to limit necroing.
