Re: My Sims Stop Responding to My Commands - sims 4 game is essentially broken.

@jajajams

After each update, most scripts mods and a large part CC will be spoiled and will spoil the game. Checking what broke down this time after the patch, and replacing these broken ones by a new updated version or deleting these is the price the player pays for using CC and mods. So simply you have many outdated mods or CC causing it. So you have a difficult choice ahead of you -to keep all your broken CCs or play.
1. Move the mods folder to the desktop.
2. Find and delete localthumbcache.package file in the game folder. Delete also all folders with the word "cache" in the name.
3. Fix the game in Origin.
Origin/Library - right-click on TS4 - option "Repair game"
You have to wait until Origin will fix all packs, not only the base game.
4. Turn on the game to create a new, empty mods folder and check if the game is working now properly without mods
5. Check if there are new updated versions of the mods and CC you are using.
Then copy from desktop your mods and CC and paste it in the new mods folder. First, paste script mods one by one every time checking if the game is OK.
Do the same with CC but you have a lot of this, so try the 100/100 method. (Divide your CC into smaller batches for example 100 pieces in one subfolder and check these subfolders one by one)

  • I got rid of all my cc after trying the 100 method because all of it seemed to cause the same issue. The script mods worked fine, it’s just the stuff in my cc folder. I’m extremely confused. Whenever I have even 1 item of cc in my game, my sims continue to have the same issue. I have no idea why this is happening ☹️ it’s clearly not because of bad cc anymore. Could it be possible that this problem is occurring because my cc is buried too deep? Like my mods work perfectly fine, it’s just the mods in my cc folder.

    It's very simple. If you have the CC in and it breaks. If you remove the CC and it works, then the game's not broken. You have bad CC. You MUST remove the bad CC if you want it to work properly.

  • I finally fixed my game after many months of not knowing what was wrong with it! The problem was staring me in the face the whole time. Thank you so much for your help 🙂
