Unable to start error? Empty Unable to start error?

If you have mods installed please remove them and try again. If not, please repair or reinstall the game via Origin." I don't have mods or cc, so I know that's not the problem, and I've never used any form of Origin.

Report is clean. Are you sure you're starting the correct exe? If you're starting with shortcut - right click and "show location" to make sure it's inside the folder you selected in validator.

Try moving "Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 4" to desktop and see if the game starts now.

Thanks for your help, anyway!
