Initializes, but doesn't load

Game will initialize and load, but gets stuck on the startup screen right before it moves to the playable screen ("The sims 4" logo screen). Game does not move any further than that, though the music audio will initialize after a few moments and the cursor will appear- all as if it has fully loaded and is ready to play.

I've followed the instructions for DL and Installation to a t, applied the "Go to Work" expansion using instructions, and applied G4tW's Sims 4 Ultimate Fix following instructions as well... All directories are added as exclusions to antivirus software, TS4 folder has been moved out of EA folder and into Programs (x86) as a standalone, and Origins is disabled / exited before initializing; no crossing / using various cracked versions, all files are G4TW files.

This is the first time I've had a problem with a G4tW crack?

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Nevermind. I'm not sure what I did, but I managed to get it fixed somehow?
