1. Pull your current Sims 4 folder out of Documents/Electronic Arts and put it somewhere else on the desktop.
2. Try to restart the game -- if it restarts, exit without saving, then you can move your Saves folder back in and have all your families back; if you have any houses in your personal gallery you can also move those back; if you use mods/CC check everything carefully with the creator as they may need to update.
If the game doesn't restart and you do have to reinstall, you should still be able to restore the saves in the new folder after you reinstall and start the game.
Best of luck.

Make sure you didn't accidentally install cc for another version of the game (ie TS2 or TS3). I had accidentally installed cc meant for TS3 and got the same error. I removed the CC & it loaded fine after.
Good luck!! Definitely backup your game before reinstalling if you end up having to.

Thanks for the tip! I was just downloading some stuff not sure what it was but I think it was that I removed what I installed from today and its working fine!:D

Thanks everyone.
Alone in the darkness, it's so cold and crazy
And everybody’s heartless, got no one to save me
But f it imma be all right, wake up and rise
