Re: City Living Elevator Locked?

@sweetlilpsycho

Most scripts mods and a lot of CC after the last patch are no longer compatible with the game It can be broken CC objects in the apartment or broken script mods.
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
right-click on TS4 select the option "repair 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 if you have a lot of this, try the 50/50 method. divide your CC into smaller batches for example 50 pieces in one subfolder and check these subfolders one by one)

    Thanks so much!  I think clearing the cache files probably got the gunk out.  I was trying to do 50/50 but it was still happening with an empty mods folder.

    I isolated the issue to a pregnancy mod that makes pregnant sims' baby bumps a little more realistic (i.e. smaller).  Just tossing this out there in case others have the elevator problem and need an example of a mod that does, in fact, mess with game scripts, even though it's a package file.
