Keep gettting the "Unable to Start" because required game data is missing or damaged

First topic message reminder :

I downloaded the toddler, vampires, and bowling stuff --> parenthood --> then fitness. My game was working fine before this, what did I do wrong? 

I will say that I did move my Sims 4 folder after downloading parenthood from program files 86 to just program files. Is that what messed it up? I was just tryna use the 64bit.

@Ageha my video card was 27 months out of date lol, so I updated it...it's fine now, all processors are updated...
It does for the most part just my CPU isn't good enough for the Sims 4.

Ahhhh, does sims work good for you? My graphics is AMD Radeon R3 (which, from what I hear is okay with sims 4) with AMD A4-6210 APU . No luck for right now, it loads up but freezes while loading up the main menu @ageha

I also did you read something about that. I did test the game by packs, after I downloaded City living I got an error... but I continued with downloading the packs...and everything worked fine, and it loaded up. Now, when the game loads up sometimes it will go to the main menu and it'll show me like all the stuff from all the packs that I downloaded and then it'll freeze like on the last one when I try to exit out of it it doesn't exit out if freezes up... also when I load the game up it goes straight into full-screen mode and it won't allow me to get to settings to put it in windowed mode, so I don't know what's going on it works when it wants to, do you think that I should uninstall the fitness pack and see if it just works with Parenthood??? @ageha

Yes, I'm actually able to run sims 4 and 'heavier' games fine. I saw a supported list of graphics card on the sims forum and R3 was included but it's in the minimum range (Cards that will only play at lower graphical settings, but may not be supported -> That's the exact phrase). Are you able to load any packs at all though?


Like I mentioned earlier to test the game by packs, so if you did, does the main menu freezes? 


@Tarac : Do you have any suggestions or do you know if she's able to play the game?

According to Electronic Arts, yes, but everything at Low

card 0x9850 "AMD Radeon R3 Graphics" $cardLevelLow $resolutionLow
card 0x9854 "AMD Radeon R3 Graphics" $cardLevelLow $resolutionLow

Perhaps if it's able to start up, you can change the resolution to low? Or you can change the simquality and visualquality (I'm guessing) in Options.ini to 1 instead. @cdera

Have look at the file Config.log in Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 4
When found = 0 and/or Supported = 0 then the settings could be wrong resulting in not able to start.



In this case it is for my Geforce G 315 card.
Note the full name, Vendor and Device and - if necessary - add these details to the file GraphicsCard.sgr in the install folder The Sims 4\Game\Bin

i tried to disable the city living among others and nothing worked, it still froze. So I am going to restore the DLCS that I manually removed, (because i backed up the Rld.Origin file just in case it didn't work. @ageha and @Tarac am i supposed to change something in the Config file??

It won't let me post the pic because its too big but i will copy the words..

Looks allright except for this:
Memory: 5054 MB
Free Memory: 1950 MB

When you compare that with my details of 3959 / 2014 MB then it looks like quite a lot of other, unnecessary, programs are executed on startup of your computer, stealing approx 1 GB of your available RAM.

step 1:
Do a CTRL+ALT+DEL (taskmanager) and look at startup.
Do you really want all these programs active on your computer ?
Switch them off.

Step 2:
Keep windowskey pressed and type R
In the window type msconfig and click on OK
Select Services
In the bottom left corner check Hide all Microsoft services
Uncheck ALL remaining services
Click on Apply and OK
Now restart your computer.
