EA isn't working right now apparently, so the game isn't working for anybody.

You need to purchase again. It’s not shared, even if you linked your accounts.

What’s the difference between The Sims 4 on PC and console?
The Sims 4 on console starts from scratch

It’s a separate version of the game. Your progress on PC or Mac is not shared.

No. Sims 4 doesn't have cross-platforming. XBox and PC are different formats.

"isn't working for anybody?" That isn't correct. EA app and my game both work just fine.

I can't get the game to start up, I've done all the fixes I can find and none of them work. A lot of people have been talking about EA not working so I tried to get into that and it keeps telling me that it crashed and it's up to date when I tell it to restart the app...

In this case I think is rather a hardware issue; What are you specs?

I'd create your own thread. Tacking onto another person's thread that's totally unrelated to the OP's topic isn't the best way to get answers. Also, there's a dozen threads ongoing with the same issue as you're having. You could add your post to one of those.
