@Taryn123456, while there could be multiple reasons for what is happening in your game, we always find it best to rule out any outdated Mods or Custom Content (CC). The problem is that sometimes removing your Mods isn't enough because sometimes bits of corrupted data can remain. 😞 Therefore it is best to do a little maintenance to see if that helps. And while we are doing that , we can also check to see if any Mods/CC are causing your problem, and if so, which one or ones are the cause. 🙂
So, please try 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 very important!) 🤨
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.
The 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 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,
So, if you find a Mod to be the culprit of your problems then you will have to get the updated version of the mod from whoever made it. The good news is that most Mod makers and CC creators try to put out updated versions of their products as soon as possible. Just make sure that the Mod or CC item is compatible with the June 4th update, and replace the outdated Mod or CC item with the updated ones. ( If the creators haven't updated your Mod or CC item in a while you might have to remove it.) This is good practice to do after every patch to maintain your Mods, CC, and game.
Now if the above steps still don't work, then there is something else wrong. But we have to rule out conflicting Mods and CC items first so we can figure out where to go from there! 😉
Please update us on how this works out! 😇
