The most recent update has brought about a number of issues in The Sims 4, and the below issue is one of the most common.
There is an easy way to fix it 'though.
Go to your folders:
Documents>EA Folder>The Sims 4 Folder> Gameversion.txt Document
Launch the game and see it if works. If not, try deleting the "Options" file, too.
If none of these fixes it, check your firewall / antivirus if it's blocking your game.
Otherwise, repair your game.
