Re: sims 4 wont work with mods

it didnt work. and im not sure what an external drive is

@abbynevitt1  Try adding mods to a clean Sims 4 folder.  Move the entire folder out of Documents\Electronic Arts, load the game to create a new folder, enable mods, and quit.  Then download a new copy of one mod, again something confirmed compatible with the current patch, and let me know whether it works.

If you get the same error, please list your game version.  Load the game to the Main Menu, where you can choose to load a save or start a new one, and look along the bottom of the screen or in the lower right corner.  Please list the entire version, i.e. 1.xx.xx.xxxx.

didnt work but heres the version

@abbynevitt1  As a test, please try playing in a new admin account on your computer.  Make it a local account, as in, don't sign into Microsoft, and don't sync with any other services you normally use.  You'll ne able to login to your existing Origin account and shouldn't need to redownload anything, but your saves and other content won't be available.

@abbynevitt1  Just to make sure, are you downloading a mod that is compatible with patch 1.77 and also does not require any content you don't have installed?  For example, a mod that affects pets might not work if Cats & Dogs isn't installed.  You could try the newest version of MCCC; that should work fine on any fully updated game.

Otherwise, please clear Origin's cache:

and repair the game: open your Origin game library, right-click on the Sims 4 icon, and select Repair.
