Re: At what point will Sims 3 start lagging?

Okay. Right now, lag is not my problem, what's happening is that I downloaded custom content, all of it was safe, none was corrupted but, no matter what I do my nraas mods will not work. I remove the custom content and it still does it. Yesterday it was working fine, before downloading the stuff. So I reverted back to a backup mod folder that I KNOW was not corrupted and it still doesn't work

    @SharketteLaw92  Did you delete the five cache files in your user folder?

    • CASPartCache.package
    • compositorCache.package
    • scriptCache.package
    • simCompositorCache.package
    • socialCache.package

    If that doesn't help, try setting up the Mods framework again, or download the framework from Mod the Sims and test it.  The two sample mods should at least work; if they don't, please post the full file path to the Packages folder where the mods are located.

    I tried all of that and it doesn't work. My mods folder is in my documents/electronic arts/Sims 3/Mods

    @SharketteLaw92  Please post a screenshot of the folder that has your mods in it; include the address bar, above the list of files and folders.

    Please also check the last modified date on deviceconfig.log, inside the same Sims 3 folder.  Let me know whether it matches the last time you opened the game.

    I've just reset my laptop, reinstalled windows and now reinstalling sims 3, then I'm going to try the mods folder again

    Update: re-installing did not fix the problem. But I disabled one drive and downloaded all my mods including nraas and reinstalled them. It worked. They're all showing up along with my new CC. I suspect that one drive may have been the culprit here

    @SharketteLaw92  That's not surprising at all.  I was trying to figure out which user folder the game was reading, because what you described sounded very much like it was using a second folder, and OneDrive is the most common reason that two separate folders exist at all.
