Re: First Person Problem (Can't use it show black screen when press hot key)
@Alexsear yes even though you still get the black screen when you change to play a normal Sim and not a Sim with the furry Mod, the fact that the furry Mod (which is likely outdated) is still in your game is the problem!
But hopefully whoever made that Mod has an updated version of it!
You will have to remove your Mods folder to a safe place like your Desktop and then delete the localthumbcache.package file (this is important because the localthumbcache.package file can contain bits of corrupted data that can remain in your game even after you remove your Mods/CC! ).🤨
Then you can test your game without the Mods folder to see if your First Person mode is working again! If it is, you know it was that Mod and that it needs to be updated. Mods and CC can become outdated any time the game is updated/patched. So you will need to get the updated version and then put that in your game and then you can replace your Mods folder back in the game. But if the Mod creator never updates that Mod, then you should delete that Mod!
Is this your only Mod or CC item? 🤔 If you have more, it might not even be the furry Mod, but some other CC item or Mod! 🤨
There is a way to test to see which Mods or CC items are causing the problem
Please do all of the following steps:
1) Move the Mods Folder to your desktop
2) Delete the localthumbcache.package file in the game folder. This is found in Documents > Electronic Arts > The Sims 4.
3) Fix you game in Origin by logging in and go to Library, then right-click on The Sims 4 and choose the "Repair Game" option from the list. Wait until Origin finishes repairing all your packs and not just the base game.
4) Now, when you turn on your game again, it will create a new mods folder that will be empty. Check to see if your game is now working without mods/CC.
5) Now you can try adding back items from your Mods folder one at a time checking your game each time to see which item is causing your game to not work properly. If you have a lot of items, you can try the 50/50 Method, working in batches to see which CC item or Mod is the culprit. (You could have multiple items causing problems.)
The Mods/CC creators will usually update the CC items and Mods after these updates, so when you find out which one is the culprit, you can get the updated version from whoever made that item of CC.MOd in the first place. You should try these steps anytime you have problems in your game to rule out CC/Mods problems. It is the responsibility of the Mods/CC creators to update their items anytime EA releases a patch/update, and it is the responsibility of the people who use Mods/CC to make sure they are using the most recent version.
When you find the updated version of your Mods/CC items, you can put them back into your game. 🙂 But if they don't update it, don't use this Mod or CC item!
Please update us on your situation! 😇
