I try to keep my mods separated by folders labeled by what category they would be. EX: Build, Buy, Hairstyles, Skins, etc. This helps in a major way when you want to see if a mod that you downloaded is the issue. I remove the subfolder and test by that to see if the problem is fixed. Follow these steps and let me know if it helps. I may be a trifle late but this is a problem that reoccurs for a people so either @Pastel_Simmer or someone else could us this to help whenever.
1. Go to your File Explorer following Documents/ElectronicArts/The Sims 3/Mods and place the mods you have into new folders with labels so you have an idea of what's in them.
2. Move The Sims 3 folder from Documents/ElectronicArts to Desktop.
3.Start the game and exit once it reaches the main screen.
4. Start moving the folders you labeled from the Mods folder from The Sims 3 folder that's on your desktop one at a time and start the game after you move just one over. If the game loads, then that subfolder is not the issue and you can move another subfolder in to test.
5. Once you've loaded everything and there is no longer an issue. Congrats! Glad I could help! If not, keep reading to see what's the deal.
6. If you have loaded a mod subfolder you labeled and the game stopped working, there is a mod in that folder that is either corrupt OR conflicts with another mod that is loaded.
7. You will have to test each mod in the subfolder individually with the other mods to see if you can pinpoint conflicting mod functions as the issue.
8. If each mod works singularly with the other mods prior to the issue, than it's still possible that the mods conflicting with each other are in the same folder. If you spot ones by names that you recognize as possibilities try those first. Pretty much just follow Step #7 but use the mods in the folder giving you the trouble.
9. If it's not working at all, mods folders or no, the issue could be the game itself and this is where you may want to reinstall the game and plug in the mods folder once it's redownloaded.
HAPPY!!! SIMMING!!! Tag me if it helped!
