The Sims 4 Has Stopped Working

I keep getting this error when I launch the game today, but I had no problem playing yesterday,

I use mods and CC, but removed them from my game just to see if they were the cause. Apparently not, anyone having the same issue? Did I miss out any patch updates or something?

    Not that I know of, might be worth either repairing via origin or just plain reinstalling it.

    uh I would say uninstall and reinstall but not sure if you'll lose any saves, but if you backed them up should be fine

    I really wish it didn't have to come to that. :(

    I still haven't uploaded my Sims to the Gallery for backup purposes.

    Reinstalling the game doesn't write over the Sims 4 folder -- but it can be good to let it. You can copy your Tray and Saves files to your desktop first, then delete that folder, *then* reinstall for a really clean fresh start. Or try this first: http://sims4.crinrict.com/en/2014/09/resetting-the-game-to-factory-settings-without-reinstalling/

    I've tried what you suggested but it still didn't work. But thanks for the info, I know now what to back up. :)

    I'm doing a complete reinstall, just to be sure. This will take a while
