Thank you for explaining in such wonderfully easy terms why this game we've all spent too much money on doesn't work. I swear, yours is the only video that actually fixes my problems I have with this game. So saving this vid to my toolbar for later, when I know it will break again.
Thank yooooou - I found that If I restarted my computer it sometimes would still launch, but that was getting so frustrating if I had other tabs open and such. This worked for me, I had to do the APP recovery at the end one more time for it to work
@@Itzaishaa go to the ea and download it again. when you click the setup exe it'll say you have ea on your computer and will show the repair button. After it completes downloading stuff, you can log in to your ea account. My app recovery didn't open at first either.
Gonna try this out later, gifted my siblings a pc that they can share and game with. My sis wants to play sims and it worked yesterday but today its just not starting up. Hope that this will fix it
thanks for the help but sadly it still dosent let me load up and i have no mods just regular sims and im quiet sad about this i always start up on steam but it wont even let me load up anymore im scared if i delete my game it will delete all my progress and my gameplay !
I've actually found it quite rare for a mod to break the game, unless it's conflicting with something else, but as long as you're downloading from reputable modders (and we have loads now) they shouldn't conflict. They always include known conflicts in the dl file so it should be easy to tell. If you do have problems with a mod, you can always join the modder's discord channel as help is usually available 24/7 x
:( did this work for you? OOOoooh I wanted to pick your brain about your hard mode of 100 baby challenge: what asps and challenges you chose for each lot trait etc. xx
an hour??? 😱😱😱 I would get in touch with EA direct, although that's not easy. I long for the days when they have some serious competition for games in this genre and it gives them a kick up the backside so they start treating us customers better!
I'm so sorry this is happening to you. I've actually stopped playing 4 and gone back to Sims 2 (again). And I'm sure if/when they release a really good EP that I didn't know I couldn't do without, I'll come back to Sims 4 for a while...until this crap starts happening again.
you are a life saver, i havent been able to play sims in over a year bc of this issue and the EA app repair thing fixed it immediately!

Glad I could be of help! It's so frustrating spending all this money to have to deal with all this crap! I'm with you there x

Do you need EA to run sims 4 on steam? because I don't have it and its not working..
I cant open the app recovery? It just doesnt do anything when I click on it. I also tried the app updater and still nothing.
Me 2

@@iwasjustleavin4372 that should totally work
This is exactly why Im not a fan of PC gaming. The graphics might be as good and basically not mod friendly - but it just works with console
I get that...but it's the modding capability for me that swings it.
PC gaming isn't the problem, its EA. I've never had any problems with any other games.

Crossing my fingers for you!

What if the app updater said download failed and exited the window? Also, you play Tiny Life?
do play TinyLife, but not very often as the colour shades tend to blur together a bit too much for my older eyes 🤣
my sims is working now tysm
I can't even get the EA app to run currently on my gaming rig. This is new today. I opened it yesterday.
:( did this work for you? OOOoooh I wanted to pick your brain about your hard mode of 100 baby challenge: what asps and challenges you chose for each lot trait etc. xx
but I do not have anywhere near enough time to watch 3 years of that challenge to find out 😂
@@bigcuppagirlsims7111 I'm at home on Thursday if you'll be streaming.
