@Rachelharris31, just know that if you add CC or Mods to your game, you will have to maintain them to keep them from conflicting with your game if they become outdated. This will usually happen when EA updates the game with a patch. Good CC makers and Mods makers will then update their CC items and Mods so that you can download the updated versions to replace the outdated ones, but this could take up to a few days.
Also, if you have a lot of CC, then it can be difficult to figure out which CC items need to be updated. To save you some trouble, I will post the procedure here for your future use!
Please do all of the following:
1) Move the Mods Folder to your desktop
2) Delete the localthumbcache.package file in the game folder.
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.
Hopefully this will be of help in the future! 🙂 Happy Simming! 🥳
