Hi everyone

as this thread is becoming a bit of a collection of things, I made a new master for the Not opening issue.

There are quite a few issues so please use the ones your issue. That makes it easier to help. Do try the solutions already given in the threads:

If your game crashes, please use this thread: [CURRENT ISSUE] Game Crashes after November 2020 Patch ( If you are NOT on a Windows PC. Please use the threads listed in the first post for your platform)
You are booted back to the map and get an error code. More information about that can be found here: [FAQ] Map Reloading/ Error Codes
You have issues with something not working as expected in the game (aka a bug): Please post in the Bug forum - Create ONE thread per Issue you encounter. Check the compiled list before reporting: [READ FIRST] Compiled list of reported Issues
You get a Game is already running error message: Nov 2020 Patch Issues - Game won't Open says "already Running"
Your game doesn't start at all. You can't open it. You get no error Message: [CURRENT ISSUE] Sims 4 doesn't start - No Error Message (Patch 1.68.154)
You get a VCRuntime Or MSVCP140.DLL Error. Please try suggestions here: [CURRENT ISSUE] Execution cannot proceed because MSVCP140.DLL was not found
You get an Error Code 0xc000007b. Please post here: Error Code 0xc000007b Preventing Game Startup
You get an Error Message: Ordinal Not Found. Please try suggestions here: TS4.exe - Ordinal Not Found
If you loose sound (without having disabled it), please post here: [CURRENT ISSUE] Muted Sounds
Your Game freezes/Clock freezes but it doesn't crash (probably related to crashing): [CURRENT ISSUE] Game time stops/ Game Freeze (Probably related to Game Crashes)

Good Luck
Crin
