@Amall_x, it is against the rules of this site to post in all caps because it is like shouting at everybody who reads your post.๐ If you want to emphasize certain parts of your text you can use the Bold, Italics, and Underline formatting buttons in the left portion of the black bar at the top of where you type' they are the B, I, and U buttons! ๐
A mesh is like the framework for an item. If you want help on installing or using your Mods and CC, then it is probably best to go to where you got them from! ๐ The creators of Mods and CC should be more than happy to help you with their products! ๐ Many CC and Mods sites have troubleshooting tips as well, and you can always try contacting the creators.
Keep in mind that Mods and Custom Content must be used with care.:๐คจ You will need to do regular upkeep to make sure they are running properly in your game. This is especially true when EA updates TS4 with a patch, as some Mods and CC will become outdated.๐ Good Mods and CC creators will try to update their items to work with any changes to the game that EA makes as soon as possible, so you should be able to get versions that work with any new patches soon after the patches are released.๐ But if you have a lot of CC, it can be very difficult to sort out which items need to be updated!๐ข The more Mods or CC items you have, the more tedious the process will be. However, I will give you the procedure for figuring out which Mod or CC item is the culprit:
Please do all of the following:
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 any time you have problems in your game to rule out CC/Mods problems. ๐ก 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. ๐
You will need to get rid of the outdated version of any Mod or CC that you use and only use a version that works with the most recently updated version of TS4. ๐คจ
I used to use CC and Mods in other versions of the game, but had to stop because of the problems they caused in my game ๐ , and the fact that I was too lazy to to do all the upkeep that is required! ๐ณ๐ (I had a ton of CC, so that was the main reason! ๐คญ ). So I removed all of them in TS3 and never used them in TS4. If you are like me and don't feel up to doing the maintenance needed for using CC and Mods, then you might be better off without them. But, if you are the type of person that doesn't mind doing regular maintance, then you can have a lot of fun with CC and Mods! ๐
Happy Simming! ๐ฅณ
