Sims 4 - Unable to start Initialization error at startup [ Edited ]

[Amilirovich]

Having some sort of error code saying "Unable to Start, Initialization error at startup & then a long error code. This is really frustrating.

FIXED!

I had to uninstall Origin completely and delete the folders. Once I reinstalled the game worked.

I am so disappointed. Here I am staying up late to this " play the game the second it is released" nonsense and the game refuses to start! The Demo worked very well, no issues.. but the real game that i actually spent money on cant start? How ironic is that?

 PLeaseee! Help!!!!!!!! Im about to cry!

I am very frustrated! Mine says Cannot connect to the server.  This is not the first time I have dealt with Sim products and not enough server...

I stayed up late too. GGGrrrrrrrr

Get your act together, EA. Especially considering this game comes with the "EA satisfaction guarantee", I'm pretty tempted to ask for a refund when you decide to launch on September first at 11pm (What kind of time is that anyway?) and then the game simply refuses to start? Come on now!

Someone on another forum stated that deleting Sims 4 and reinstalling worked for them but I am unable to re-download it as I am currently tethered to my phone for internet.

I hit reload games and it came up where I could hit the play button.  Fingers crossed for it working!
